    Hi,

    after running dist-upgrade on my Debian system couple of days ago I get
    the error message when trying to set a new background picture with
    "fbsetbg":

    fbsetbg: Something went wrong while setting the wallpaper. Run 'display
    -geometry 1280x1024+0+0 -window root
    /home/chris/.fluxbox/backgrounds//picture.jpg' from an xterm to find out
    what.

    When I run "display -geometry 1280x1024+0+0 -window root
    /home/chris/.fluxbox/backgrounds//picture.jpg" I get the error message:

    *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08050190 ***
    Aborted

    Any idea how to fix that problem?

    I've asked already in the Debian NG, but nobody could help me - maybe here
    I have some more luck.

    Thank you
    Chris
