Hi,

Evolution uses gconf (~/.gconf) to store the settings and ~/.evolution
to store the datas.

Apparently you have an issue with gconf. Is your home a local
directory ? 
What's the output of "gconftool-2
-g /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename" ? Does it change when you
select an another background ?
