I think the "issue" (not really an issue, but a "feature") is that ion
draws a (flat) background for all the frames it uses, and because of
that you can't see your wallpaper (the frame background is on top of
it). Try creating an empty workspace after setting the wallpaper. If you
can see your wallpaper, then all you must do now is to make the frames
transparent, so your wallpaper can be seen in all the desktops. To do
that

  1. locate the "look" theme that ion is using
  2. edit it, adding the following 

                de.defstyle("frame", {
                        based_on="*",
                        transparent_background = true,
                  }
                )

     put that text after the 'de.defstyle("*", {' section

  3. restart ion.

Hope this helps,
