Greetings...
This is a strange one for me. I have been running my conky using a script to set the root background to an image for a year and a half. I did an upgrade the other day and now, the script does what it's supposed to do on login, but after 10 seconds, the root background magically turns black; it's like it resets to black automatically. All I have to do is manually run my script and the root background image appears and stays the way it's supposed to... till next login.
Does anyone know why or what would reset the root background to black 10 seconds after login?
I can't find any references to any of the GDM or X scripts that could be running in an rc, bash, local or profile like xsri or xsetroot. It's a little weird.
Thanks
Edit: I just added "sleep 12" to the end of my script, then a repeat of my script after that. So now it just flashes to black for a couple of seconds. That's good for a laugh, but I still would like to know what is doing this. I also see nothing in the logs that I can recognize. Note: I'm using lynx.
