I've put Me own picture in usr/share/backgrounds, But it seems that Nathans Wallpaper Setter isn't working, could I be doing something wrong or is it a known bug? is there a Work-around?

I Do quite like the Features of this Puplet, altho I Do Realise that the Dingo Base is quite Mature & there is a Newer 511, But Again I'm a bit sentimental w/ Dingo & this will be running on PCs w/ Only 512 Mb RAMemory, Frugal install, 1 Gb Swap Partition

Thanx 4 Your Help :)K

Max Headroom. What size is this new image background, and what is it's format - .jpg, .png, etc?
Are you still using the original default background? If so, try this. First of all - make a backup of the background you are using. Record the exact size and the format - .jpg, etc. Resize your picture to the same area and format - then rename it to the one you have been successfully with. Restart your computer. Hopefully this will work. If it does not, and all goes pear-shaped, simply replace with the original.
