Description Cysioland 2013-12-10 18:47:46 UTC 
Description of problem:

When I set wallpaper to "List", and add list of wallpapers, it sets. But after a while, it reverts. When I try to select the wallpaper again, I just have to switch to "List", and my list is already there. As soon as I launch wallpaper setting dialog, default wallpaper shows immediately.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.10.2

How reproducible:

Quite good

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set wallpaper to "List" and add couple of wallpapers
2. Set wallpapers to change after some time
3. Wait few minutes to hours
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

Actual results:

Wallpaper reverts to plain color.

Expected results:

Wallpaper staying on screen, changing periodically as set.

Additional info:

Odd. I can't duplicate this here, it works as expected. ;( 

Can you pinpoint any times or actions that seem to happen before it reverts from list?

And does it seem to change them ok over time for a while? Or it never does?

Does the problem persist on a newly created user?

No. I ran it on idle and it still reverted.

It changes, but after a while reverts to plain blue default.
 
> Does the problem persist on a newly created user?

Nope. On freshly created account problem doesn't occur.

When I hooked up my second screen today, and after fixing #867455, i noticed something strange. While wallpaper reverts on primary screen, on secondary it works great.

And I spotted a kind of event which happens when wallpaper reverts. If wallpaper works, then in xfconf editor xfce4-desktop.backdrop.screen0.monitor0.image-path is /home/cysioland/.config/xfce4/desktop/backdrop.list. When it doesn't work, path is something like "change it to image file", in Polish, which is my system language.
Comment 5 Kevin Fenzi 2013-12-14 17:11:11 UTC 
Interesting. 

Can you run a: 

xfconf-query -m -c xfce4-desktop

(this will monitor that channel in real time) and see if you can see when/what changes that property?

Nothing unexpected. It doesn't show, what, just:

set: /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path

It does it as soon as wallpaper reverts.
Comment 7 Kevin Fenzi 2013-12-18 14:48:15 UTC 
Odd. You aren't running anything like wallpapoz or some application that changes backdrops?
Comment 8 Cysioland 2013-12-18 15:28:50 UTC 
Yes. It was Wallpapoz.
