No, it depends if ubuntu will still revert that nautilus change... Upstream
nautilus does not draw background since 3.8:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/tree/NEWS#n310

Desktop icons will be available, but without compositor background under
icons will be black.

@Alberts, which distro are you using or which one is closest with

I use Ubuntu (development version), but I am building full GNOME +
GNOME-Flashback with JHBuild. I don't use Debian, but it should be good -
it is not modified there.
