Hi All,

EPEL's 4.12 update just came through for Scientific Linux 7.2. This issue is also reproducible on Fedora Core 23.

When you go into Desktop Settings and change the Background directory path, then exit, the changes do not take.

Looking at /home/todd/.config/xfce4/desktop/backdrops.list, my chosen pictures are listed.

I miss my backgrounds. Please fix!

Many thanks, -T

Version: 4.12.0
