wallpaper resets after reboot *solved*

So to keep this short and simple, if I change the desktop wallpaper, it resets back to the LXDE blue image when I reboot. How do I make it stop resetting itself?

Although I have no idea why, apparently $HOME/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf is being rewritten when you reboot. You might want to verify that it is correct before rebooting and has the proper permissions (mine is 664)

it is definitely being rewritten when i reboot, and it also has the proper permissions

I fixed mine from resetting by backing up first *for safety reasons* to /home/user/Documents/backups (I always make a backups folder)

the /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/LXDE.conf text file

then I deleted the /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/LXDE.conf text file.

Wallpapers started to stick after doing that for me. The $HOME/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf started taking over which wallpaper I had selected with my AntiX wallpaper.sh script that Dave wrote for AntiX.
