Bug Description

Loaded Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 testing iso daily build (focal-desktop-amd64, version uploaded on 2020-04-06 15:27) in VirtualBox, selected "login automatically" during installation. Problem is that every time I try to access any of the system settings via the menu, a dialogue box pops up prompting me to login. Upon logging in with the password that I entered during installation, I am faced with the blank desktop (no windows open). Happens with all system settings (e.g. power, desktop, applets), but same problem does not occur when opening applications from the menu (such as firefox or libreoffice).

Just to add, I also get an error message sporadically popping up saying "System program problem detected". Strange thing is that Budgie Desktop Settings is accessible via right-click on desktop and selecting "Desktop Settings", whereas selecting "Change Desktop Background" yields same issue as highlighted in my original bug report.
