Summary:                    xfdesktop (CVS-HEAD)
Description: 
If a list of images is defined, you get this warning:
(xfdesktop:15451): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf-io.c: line 729
(gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file): assertion `filename != NULL' failed

And corruption of the Xserver memory follows with crashes in unrelated
programs (like gkrellm with transparent theme).

If a single image is defined as background, it apparently works, but
Xserver memory corruption also ensues with crashes in programs like
gkrellm with transparent theme.

Yeah, the image setting code needs some love. I've experienced some
problems as well. Also related to setting and/or removing the root
properties (_XROOTPMAP_ID and _ESETROOT_PIXMAP_ID).

I'm sure it is my fault ;) Not sure of the solution yet. I believe it is
only in HEAD though.

Don't get confused. It's not memory corruption at all. Simply the property
is set to a wrong pixmap id, so other apps which try to use the pixmap
crash.

List file handling fixed. The root window property problems should also be
solved.
