Q: Desktop background settings change when using Fast user switching
On my MBP, I have my desktop settings set to shuffle backgrounds from a particular folder. I also have multiple user accounts on the computer. When I use Fast user switching to change users (or to even go to the login screen), when I return to the account, it's set to Solid Aqua Blue, instead of a background from my folder. If I want to use my backgrounds folder, I have to set everything up again.
The odd thing is that this doesn't happen if I let the computer go to sleep (I require a password to log back in), and change user accounts from there.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

after browsing around through the related posts (yay tagging!), I found one that made mention of TeamViewer causing this issue. I've turned TeamViewer off (it's still installed, but "start with system" is disabled in TeamViewer preferences), and I'm no longer observing this issue.
Thanks go to this post.
I'd still like to figure out why this happens, though.
