No Joy.  B^(

1) It doesn't seem to matter what image I choose to use as my desktop
background.  It doesn't stick.

2) It doesn't seem to matter how that background is viewed (styled?)
After it reverts I'm back to Earth from Space, Scaled.

3) The only thing that *does* seem to stick, is the Colors: selection.
I've managed to change the background color from white to black.  Now at
least, the white bars on the sides are now black bars and blend with the
background image.

4) OK, I was also able to add an image to the background selections, and
it seems to have stuck in the selection window, but, no matter which
background I choose, it eventually reverts back to Earth from Space, Scaled.
