I would like to fix this crash for the background capplet in the control center. However i need help from you, i need to know if this crash happes when a particular image is beeing set as the background and also if it happens every time that image is set. If this is the case can you provide me with an URL to the image that makes the background capplet crash so that i can try to replicate it in my computer. Thanks in advance

Hovinen, this seems to be much duplicated. However, is this gone with the rewrite of the background rendering code? Also, Chema, when you get a debbugs imported bug like this, where the original reporter doesn't have an account in Bugzilla, the original reporter won't get a copy of your comments.
This looks very old. It's almost certainly gone now that the background renderer has undergone three full iterations of refactoring. I have not been able to duplicate it. I'm going to mark it fixed for now; if we run into it again we can reopen it.
