desktop background image

[Jeffrey Ross]

I upgraded my system to Fedora 28 (from 26 -> 27 -> 28) and when I 
upgraded to 28 I no longer had a desktop background image, the desktop 
was simply "black".  I dismissed it as a minor issue and loaded a 
background image, I did this from Firefox, I had an image up and 
selected "set as desktop image"  the image was loaded onto the desktop 
and survived several system reloads.

Today I updated the system with DNF, the following were installed/upgrade:

I ran the update remotely via an ssh session.  When I was in front of 
the system I brought the monitors out of power saving mode to find that 
I had not desktop background image again.  I reloaded the system and 
again no background image.

Suggestions?

I don't have much experience with this, since I run wallpapoz, but I
think it matters which desktop manager and which desktop you use.
