[Bug 1393833] Re: Background with feh doesn't work

[Robin McCorkell]

** Description changed:

  When gnome-settings-daemon or unity-settings-daemon are not installed,
  feh is run using one of a handful of predefined wallpapers. However,
  while it appears to run correctly, as it flashes up the background
  briefly, the actual installer has just a black screen. It seems like the
  feh invokation needs to be later after the Ubiquity installer has
  started.
+ 
+ This behaviour was noticed when using XFCE, so xfwm and xfsettingsd are
+ running. Perhaps it is caused by the xsetroot invokation, which occurs
+ after the feh invokation?
