Bug#495897: iceweasel: Set as desktop background dialog throws exception

If I change the /desktop/gnome/background/primary_color key to be of expected length, the dialog works again (except that the default picked color is apparently wrong, but I haven't checked if it was intended). All in all, this looks like something else did set a b0rked primary_color. After some tries, it looks like gnome-appearance-properties is responsible for this. pkg-gnome people, is that intended, or is that a bug?

Package: iceweasel Version: 3.0.1-1 Severity: normal After selecting set as desktop background on an image, this exception is shown in the error console: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIShellService.desktopBackgroundColor] nsresult: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) location: JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/setDesktopBackground.js :: anonymous :: line 56 data: no] No background color is set and the image doesn't appear in the preview. Manually choosing a color and re-selecting an image position seems to restore the dialog's functionality, but the background color will always be black when the dialog is opened again. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig2.6.0-1generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnspr4-0d 4.7.1-3NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libstdc++64.3.1-9The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii procps1:3.2.7-9 /proc file system utilities ii psmisc22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.1-1 XUL + XPCOM application runner iceweasel recommends no packages.
