Hi Christian,

I have the same happening here. You're not alone... }:-)

Well, as it only occurs after setting the background it is not something
that bothers me too much (it appears fbsetbg does do its job normally,
with the added "bonus" of this error message, which "costs" you one
click to remove). So, I decided to just wait and see if a new version
would fix it. 

I have to admit though that I do not reboot my boxes that much. If you
do (laptop?), then it might be more of a nuisance to you.

Sorry, I know this isn't too helpful.
