I can reproduce this here on Mageia Linux x86-64 5. See:

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13134

For me the background disappears right on startup. I mention a relatively simple workaround of doing "pkill xfdesktop" or using xkill somewhere on the background, which appears to work for me.

Thanks to wally from Mageia for giving me a link to this bug.

Don't chain up style_set

This should fix it, please test this.

thanks for the patch. I placed it in the Mageia source package and rebuilt and it appears to have fixed the problem.

I should note that I'm using Mageia Linux x86-64 5 on a Core i3 machine with the built-in i915 graphics adapter.
