gitso changes background to black

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm writing this bug report here because I couldn't find an email or a
better place to do it.
I'm not sure how to reproduce this problem but I have an image of ubuntu,
where it occurs, which I'll be happy to share.

The problem is that when i connect to the client gitso changes the current
background to plain black. And it remains so until I manually changes it back. 
I'm rolling this image on several computers used at public places so I'm
using pessulus and have executed the following command.

sudo chmod ugo+rwx /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties

I'm using gitso 0.5 and ubuntu intrepid.

I've also experienced this.  It would appear that gitso/vnc is simply removing 
the wallpaper, 
but not restoring it when gitso/vnc is shutdown.

Yep. This happens because the underlying vnc process can be killed incorrectly.
Hopefully we can implement a work-around for this, by manually grabbing the
background and then reseting it after the vnc process is finished. A similar 
issue
exists when the repeat on the keyboard disabled. Hopefully we can fix this as 
well!

See new the new version of Gitso. I removed this setting for this version. 
Hopefully
we can add preferences for this and if the VNC process dies, we should manually 
be
able to set the background to what it was. That will be for a future version...
