Hi,

I've specified cvs head here beecause at the moment it's closer to the
version I'm running (1.1.15) than the highest specific version available.

See the summary for the bug description. It's most obvious when the
gnome-session splash is on-screen and everything is loading: at some point
the "proper" background is loaded, and then when Nautilus finishes loading
it paints its own (which was black in my case, also the colour I had set in
case of no background image available, maybe that's relevant?). It is then
impossible to re-set it via the "Background" option in preferences://.

Regards,

Andrew
