Well, it's not a problem on Ubuntu.... so I need to do some research to see what's different in Ubuntu. My first attempt was going to focus on running that ps ... grep command in Ubuntu to see which services it's loading. Then I'll go from there. I think it's something we can perhaps fix with Fedora. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't Gnome as both my Fedora and Ubuntu computers are using Gnome 2.20.

It is not possible to tell it not to reset the background. There is a key in gconf for this, but it is not used at all anymore. You could try to get this solved upstream, but I doubt that this will change.

For since they are outside of your power to control them it is simply a waste of time and energy to dwell on them. Instead, turn your attention to those things that you can control and grow your influence in those areas and you will see the effects begin to trickle out to those items that were previously out of your power to influence." – Eric Mesa inspired by Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
