When changing User Interface themes, the desktop background is replaced with a solid colour that varies from theme to theme, rather than using the normal Desktop settings. The regular desktop image is restored by changing anything in the Desktop settings applet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter the Xfce Settings Manager 2. Enter User Interface 3. Change to another theme Actual Results: The theme changed, and my background image was changed Expected Results: The theme should change, retaining my background image
er, AFAIK, this is fixed in rc3.
Do you use the debian packages?
Yep, the problem is with the xfdesktop4 debian package, that wasn't properly synced with the last-time xfce-desktop.c fix. Please apt-get update;apt-get upgrade.
