** Description changed:

  When setting a background from 'Colors & Gradients' in the 'Appearance'
  pane of g-c-c, I see the following output in ~/.xsession-errors:
  
  GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `string != NULL'
  failed
  
  ** WARNING **: Failed to set the background '(null)':
  GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Accounts.Error.Failed: file '[Invalid
  UTF-8]' is not a regular file
  
  Backtrace attached.
+ 
+ --- Update ---
+ 
+ When I manually set the 'picture-uri' key in
+ 'org.gnome.desktop.background' I can observe the following:
+ 
+ * If I set it to a path to an existing regular file, prefixed with 'file://', 
I see no warnings.
+ * If I set it to a path to a non-existing regular file, prefixed with 
'file://', I get a 'file ... is not a regular file' warning.
+ * If I set it to something not prefixed with 'file://', I see the above two 
warnings.
+ 
+ The last case happens every time I set a solid background color in
+ 'Appearance', which sets the 'picture-uri' key to null.
