Description petrk 2017-01-21 16:57:15 UTC 
Wallpaper in SDDM seems to reset. Possibly related to the new logic introduced in 5.9.

I'm guessing that changing wallpaper should trigger file change in /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf.

Probably from:


[General]
type=color
color=#1d99f3

to:

[General]
type=image
#color=#1d99f3
image=file-in-/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/name.png


Or something along the lines, there's also theme.conf.user which maybe was the target. 

I've got around it by setting it manually in theme.conf.

Seems like the same problem. I need to step up my searching.
