Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

If I use gconftool to set a background picture without a file path name
like this:

    gconftool --type string --set
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename whatever.jpg

gnome-appearance-properties will crash if I  run it and then select the
background tab.

If I run gconftool with a full patchname:

    gconftool --type string --set
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /home/user/whatever.jpg

then gnome-appearance properties doesn't crash.
