Hey Jay, there are a few points to this problem, sorry I wasn't
descriptive enough earlier:

1. When we get a NULL or "" from the picture_filename key in gconf, we
ignore it. It actually means the user wants to only see the coloured
background

2. We don't monitor the /desktop/gnome/background/primary_color and
../secondary_color gconf keys, and therefore we currently don't know
what the colour values are.

3. Finally, we're not monitoring the /color_shading_type key under the
same path, which tells us if the user wants a sold (only primary colour)
or horizontal/vertical gradient.

All these three things need to be fixed to support the users options. We
also have a separate bug about not actually showing the background
correctly too (our zoom isn't the same as gnome-settings-daemon's zoom,
for instance, so it looks like the wallpaper has moved when unity
starts). For this, could you please chat to didrocks, who once mentioned
there is a library that'll give you the correct background for the size
you want (applying the users preferences correctly).
