David if it makes any difference, recently Debian installed a Debian
Stretch Theme and the Next wallpaper or the wallpaper you where using
could have been changed or I should say probably did get changed, I
run testing and Sid so I'm used to many themes being wiped out and
replaced, it's the way of testing and not something you would expect
from a stable system which Stretch is not, yet. As I told Cindy, you
can find the installed wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpaper.
I haven't noticed any new wallpapers (I too am running Debian 8.8 with
XFCE and have my wallpaper set to one I like which I saved in
~/Pictures/Wallpaper) I also had no problems with the wallpapers going
away and also was able to change them in the settings. I do notice that
they don't all *stay* listed in the settings (except the current one
being used) if they are located somewhere other than the default
wallpaper directory. But other than that, no problems here, so far.
I did update using apt-get dist-upgrade and not apt-get upgrade. Maybe
that made a difference?
