Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) on Dell Mini 10v: when folders are opened, random background window colors are present and cannot be reset!

Okay, that is *very* strange and it shouldn't be happening on its own,
did you try and scripts or such that apply a random background to your
desktop

Regards,

Hi Vikram,
Thank you for responding. No, I have not run any scripts at all! Is it possible a script could have been installed or set into motion and be running without my knowing or when Ubuntu was installed at the factory?

Nope not possible :D I am sorry for the inconvenience, but is it
possible to link a picture to imageshack of this when it happens, it
could be a *strange* regression or something of that sort
