I pushed a patch to xfdesktop that should fix the issue eveyone was seeing. There was a little mixup between my color1s and color2s which means it was looking for the color settings in the wrong places. If someone can test it out and verify that was the only problem with that section that would be great.
commit 824050c60b3febe1f731964d343432dce32372dc Author: Eric Koegel <eric.koe...@gmail.com> Date: Tue Aug 26 19:49:30 2014 +0300 settings: Fix background color loading The issue was launching xfdesktop-settings changed the wallpaper background color, either to black or #7f000 or some other color. There's a bit of a mixup in the code, there's color 2s where there should be color 1s. With these corrected the colors should properly be loaded and old versions should be migrated.
