Description:
Description of Problem:
I have always had a vertical gradient background. But after one of my
frequent updates to last Debian unstable version, it did not work
properly.
I thought first it would be corrected soon, but the bug has remained
for
several months now, and I have found nothing referring it at all.

The problem is that the gradient does not appear at all when I open a
session. Instead of the gradient, I have a solid color which I cannot
define:
it does not seem directly related to the colors of the gradient. It may
be the
default color for the GNOME 2 background.

Then, if I open the Background menu of the Desktop settings, and if I
click on any option for the background image (recall that there is NO
image at all), then the gradient instantly appears.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Select a gradient for your background.
2. Log out
3. Log in - your gradient is lost

Actual Results:
Uniform (default?) background

Expected Results:
A gradient !!!!

How often does this happen?
Every time
