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: Guys from #xfce @ Freenode directed me here
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. > And does it seem to change them ok over time for a while? Or it never does? 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.
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.
Odd. You aren't running anything like wallpapoz or some application that changes backdrops?
Yes. It was Wallpapoz.
