I still have this same problem.
I've reinstall gnome-control-center-unity, but my background just black.
Changing background (wallpaper/pictures/color) from Appearance not
working at all.
hotfloppy@HFBox:~$ dpkg -l | grep gnome-control
ii gnome-control-center
Update:
Wallpaper can be changed after settings 'show-desktop-icons' to 'true' as per
instructed here:

thank you for your bug report, unity recommends gnome-control-center-
unity and recommends are installed by default, you probably upgraded
during the transition time, not a g-c-c bug in any case
