Probably some other program is setting the background when X starts up. You should check your .xinitrc and other relevant config files. If you can't figure it out, it should help to insert a delay before changing the background: + I Exec sleep 5; xsetroot -solid Cyan4 (It is important to use only one 'exec' here. Otherwise the xsetroot command is not executed.)
