Just install Linux Mint 9 LXDE and am really impressed with it's speed. Anyway, I guess I changed something in the right click on the desktop, because I don't see anything to change the wallpaper. Just shows "Terminal Emulator/Web Browser/ObConf..... How would I fix this? Thanks.

I'm running on my Fedora 13 system right now, so this may not be correct for Linux Mint, but for me
MainMenu->Preferences->Desktop opens the Desktop Preferences dialog which lets me change the wallpaper.
