Wallpaper goes black when changed

[Chris Jones]

When I change my wallpaper my background goes black until I log out and log in again. Then the new wallpaper image appears upon fresh log in.

See example screenshot attached.

So is anyone going to take a look at this bug?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

I had the issue with 10.10 Maverick right up until I upgraded to 11.04 Natty. Now it seems to have been fixed in Natty.

You should probably close the bug report unless anyone else is having this issue with Natty.
