Hi Mitch,
Thanks for the reply. I tried double-clicking, as you suggested, and
that didn't work right off. However, I clicked about 20 times in
succession, and that seemed to do the trick. Ironically, I could have
sworn that I tried that before but it didn't work.
Now, I just tried to see if I could change the pattern again, and once
again, it's stuck. Hmmm

Since there have been no responses as of yet, I thought I'd elaborate
on the problem.
I used Apple's Network Access Disk to boot the CC, then ran the
formatting software (HD SC Setup 7.3.5) and the generic 7.1 installer.
So the hard drive was wiped and a fresh system was installed. When the
system install was finished, I popped the System Enabler into the
System Folder, then restarted. Everything (but the desktop pattern)
works just fine.
When I go into the General Controls, I can cycle through the patterns,
however when I click on the little desktop, the pattern simply refuses
to change from the default grey. Now, even without a PRAM battery,
should not the pattern be able to be changed? I know that the system
is acknowledging the requests, because the hard drive will access when
I click a different pattern.
Could there be remnants of System 7.5.3 on the hard drive? Should I
run some sort of drive wiping program and try reinstalling?
Please let me know if I should provide more information, though I
can't imagine what else to say.
Thanks,
-Shaun
