Description

I'm running Docker Desktop on macOS and keep getting the warning "Another application changed your Desktop configurations. This may cause unexpected behavior and errors." I reapply the configurations, but the message keeps coming back. I don't know what other application could be causing this and wonder if it's a known bug.

Reproduce

Not sure how to reproduce. Here are some screenshots which may help:

Expected behavior

No warnings from Docker Desktop about other applications changing my Desktop configurations.

All checks have passed, which generally indicates that my Docker installation is healthy.

Here is my system info:

OS: macOS 12.6.7 21G651 x86_64
Host: Macmini7,1
Kernel: 21.6.0
Uptime: 3 hours, 41 mins
Packages: 356 (brew)
Shell: zsh 5.8.1
Resolution: 1920x1080
DE: Aqua
WM: Quartz Compositor
WM Theme: Blue (Light)
Terminal: iTerm2
Terminal Font: CascadiaMonoPL-Regular 16
CPU: Intel i5-4278U (4) @ 2.60GHz
GPU: Intel Iris
Memory: 9810MiB / 16384MiB

I should add that I closed down all open apps and could see nothing that would realistically interfere with docker.
