Maybe we can see than what's the problem.

I'll give it a try once I get to work. I'm fine with syslog...I've been doing Linux (especially Debian) for a while.

However, I don't think that syslog will be able to detect the problem. If I could figure out what is getting called by the desktop menu when you press the change background button. Then I could run it in some kind of debugging mode (e.g. strace, strings, etc.)
