The shell commands

grep filename ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml | sed -e 's/<filename>//g' | sed
-e 's/<\/filename>//g' | less

will show all the paths and filenames of the list of background images.

This will be of use if no change is made in Karmic to fix this problem.

I attached a script with these commands. It isn't *really a solution*,
but rather a workaround allowing users to find where their background
images are.

** Attachment added: "Shell script to display paths of images in one's 
backgrounds list."
