Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-art
Gutsy x86, updated everything to 9/2 including proposed updates.
When browsing backgrounds, the "Install" button downloads the background
and makes it available to the "Appearance" preferences application, but
does not set it as the actual desktop background. To the user, it is as
if the "Install" button does nothing, which is confusing and not
satisfactory.
Captured output from running gnome-art in a terminal, then selecting
"Art->Backgrounds->GNOME", and hitting "Install" on the first theme
follows:

sh: gnome-background-properties: not found

It seems as though the program in feisty, 'gnome-background-properties',
has been deprecated in gutsy in favor of 'gnome-appearance-properties',
although I don't have a feisty machine handy to test this. If someone
can confirm the existence of gnome-appearance-properties in feisty, this
should be an easy fix for gutsy.
