If you have any problem with background (sometimes appears a message at start session) you most do 2 things:

1. Scale the wallpaper image to your screen resolution. For example, if your screen resolution in 1024x768 your wallpaper image most have the same resolution.

2. To start simdock you most indicate where is your wallpaper image like this:
