Apparently we do, this is the comment just above the timeout
/*
* Wallpaper capplet changes picture, background color and
placement with
* gconf_change_set API, but unfortunately, this operation is
not atomic in
* GConf as it should be. So we update background after small
timeout to
* let GConf change all values. */
Is this a bug in GConf? Was it a bug which has since been fixed? Can
it be fixed? Should it be?
