Having a problem with my background disappearing randomly...Half the time
when I restart the computer, it's there - half the time, missing. I have a
picture set as my background, but in the times where it disappears, the
background reverts to one of the generic "shape" themes or is either solid
black. When I check in "Display", it's still showing as being set to the
correct picture...and to get it back, I just click on something else, then
back on the pic, then "Apply". But it's getting really old to do this once or
more a day...Any fixes?
