    I noticed that when I try to change wallpaper from right clicking the desktop and choose "Change Desktop Background" it works the first time after I log in but if I try to change it that way again the window does not show up. I have to either click the System Preferences from the dock or right click and choose "Change Desktop Background" again.

    Anyone have this issue?

    I'm on a rMBP and Mountain Lion 10.8.

    I'm assuming you upgraded from Lion. You'll need to do a clean install or do the following fix (source)

    You're going to need to try a clean install then.

    My rMBP had ML installed when I got it. Will try the fix when I get home. Is it software related or?

    Yeah I have the same issue, doesn't stick after restart or turning off. This happened from a clean install on a MBP with lion originally and still happens after ML install.

    That fix didn't help. I guess they will fix it in an update...

    I have the exact same issue as you! I also did a clean install as well. Clearly a bug that needs to be squashed.
