Hi all, since upgrading to Yosemite (10.10.1, but don't know if this existed in 10.10.0 since I immediately updated after installing), my dual monitor setup is acting strange with the Desktop and Screensaver pref pane.  First use it worked and showed up ok, but then the pane on the secondary monitor disappeared and all the folders that should be listed are empty and gone in the pref pane on the primary monitor.  Re-adding them, they still don't show up, the pref pane stays blank, and the secondary monitor still doesn't show up.  Picture attached.  I've already trashed preferences and rebooted.  Same issue still persists.

Found the fix (from the apple support forums);

 

1) Close all windows & apps

2) Go to the System Library by selecting Finder, the hold the Option Key, then click on the Go tab at the top

3) Open the Application Support folder

4) Open the Dock folder

5) You should see desktoppicture.db in the Dock folder

6) Drag the desktoppicture.db to Trash

7) Reboot and you should be Good-To-Go
