Public bug reported:
I found setting the desktop background to an HEIC image crashes the
desktop. This was on ubuntu, so I think it's Xorg? Not sure.
I'd expect it has the same problem with any image type that's not
supported. It might be better to just show an error and set the desktop
to a default image on failure if possible.
I don't know if the attachments will be very useful, it's been about a
day since I had the crash and I've since used the terminal to reset the
background to something else.
