System preferences crashes at changing desktop picture

(My system MBP mid 2009) Yesterday I upgraded to Lion. All works fine. But when I try to change the Desktopwallpaper the System preferences crashes. I discovered this behavior only within my user account, the other account on my MBP works normally. Changing the screensaver works fine in both accounts as well. I have already deleted com.apple.desktop.plistfile. What else can I do?

Thanks.

So, if you've imported your old iPhoto library from a 10.6 or earlier machine, you will need to first upgrade your library. To do this:
1. Hold Command and option keys and double click iPhoto database
2. Select Repiar. You will then be prompted to update your database

Once this is done, you should be good to go on changing your BG.
