I have this bug, too on i386. I've recently upgraded from jaunty to karmic and now it shows only a black background, cannot change it.
Here's what is printed in the ~/.xsession-errors file: (gnome-appearance-properties:3769): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_display_sync: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed -- [regression] The desktop background doesn't change https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/409331 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
