Did you try using an image which resides in your home directory? If
mounting of partitions fails during boot (for whatever reason), the
wallpaper iage might be inaccessible.

I'm not sure if that's the problem. Please check and revert. And if it
doesn't work, feel free to download Fedora 10 tomorrow and install
it.. he he..

Thanks and regards,

Syam

i dont think its a good thing to  leave the complaint abruptly and go for another distro....

yes i used the picture in the home folder itself

That suggestion was on the lighter side of things. <sarcasm>Perhaps I
should've used some markup tags</sarcasm>

i think it is the problem with gnome environment......

[Syam]

Well.. in that case, if there are not much of application settings,
you can try deleting .gnome and .gnome2 directories. Perhaps you've
already done that :-(

May be you should also try removing the cache/temporary files in /tmp

Try creating a new user and see if the problem persists.

I think it is the file permissions problem then. Who is the owner of /home?

do
ls -ld /home
and send the output
