Description of problem: I am trying to change the desktop background on a Fedora 18 setup with the 'Mate desktop' package group installed. The change only gets applied after re-login. I am not sure if this is handled by caja but I got mate-file-manager-1.4.0-7.fc18.x86_64 installed. The only error log I found was in .xsession-errors: (mate-appearance-properties:12632): capplet-common-WARNING **: Couldn't load window manager settings module `/usr/lib64/window-manager-settings/libmarco.so' (/usr/lib64/window-manager-settings/libmarco.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) maybe that's related.
could be, that file (libmarco.so) is from mate-control-center. I'll look into it

Have not seen the libmarco.so bug again, but wallpaper changes are still not applied directy. I have verified it on two setups, installed with Beta TC4 DVD and Netinstall.
It seems that caja is started with the --no-desktop option. Perhaps that's the reason why desktop background image changes are not applied immediately.
