Unity Launcher assumes default background is active for a couple of seconds after logoff and login

[Sadi Yumuşak]

I used to experience this problem before every time the computer boots and autologins to my desktop as reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1241757

But after upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04, I see this only after I logoff and login again.

What's more, whenever I run the command "gksu nautilus" now, the Unity Launcher background immediately turns to default background (purple). If I enter the command "nautilus -q" in an attempt to correct this, it get even worse and the whole desktop background changes to the default one, and I start seeing it again underneath Unity Launcher at startups.
I can only get rid of it by removing folders ~/.compiz and ~/.configure/compiz-1.

As a result I have to use the command "sudo nautilus" instead of "gksu nautilus" (with user bookmarks instead of root bookmarks).

Having same issue too, after "nautilus -q" and opening nautilus and then minimizing it and clicking anywhere on desktop brings back the unity dash color according to the wallpaper applied.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

For me it happened once. I logout and login and it didn't happen again.
