Q: System preferences change with restart: desktop images settings
Since update to 10.8.3, my normal desktop wallpaper slideshow (folder: desktop photos; change every 5 seconds; random order) is not properly retained when I restart the computer. It defaults to the correct folder, but does not change images unless I go into system prefs again and recheck the appropriate boxes.
Any idea what might be going on here?
2011 MBP running 10.8.3
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

It's a problem with the Desktop settings file. First, open a Finder window, go to the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart
