Well, "abrt:kernel oops" sounds more serious and quite different
than a subsequent warning but it is hard to tell with absent
details.  In any case, either that oops is already in bugzilla or it
should be.

Missing backgrounds may, or may not, be related and possibly deserve
its own report.

No, abrt just reports warnings as oopses for some reason.

I have been seeing black backgrounds for gdm and missing desktop backgrounds.
It seems to be somewhat random and with the other issues I have been having
its hard to get time to properly report everything. I think this issues may
correlate with the windows leaving a trail bug I reported. But with stuff
not happening consistently it's hard to tell for sure.

Same symptomology noted here.  Kernel oops reported.
Additionally, some component of nautilus is not running by default, the
right click desktop
menu does not appear by default; running nautilus into the background from a
terminal
window "cures" the problem.

This is from a parallel installation of rawhide fully updated to 2010-11-27.
