Comment 13 for bug 536712

I have 2 laptops running lucid for which setting the background images is no longer working.

One is an Averatech 3280 - this program was working up till the past few days - after recent updates through today, it no longer works - in fact the program freezes when I try to change the image. This system has been running Lucid since an early alpha release.

The other is a Dell netbook (10x) in which I just did a fresh install of Lucid (keeping my /home partition) from a USB stick containing today's Alternate release. The effect is the same - I can change the banner text, but setting the background image does not. In fact trying to do so changes the background to a default. Also the directory in which these images were installed no longer exits - /usr/share/images/xsplash

Very strange!
