GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 547420
nautilus doesn't offer to set the desktop background from an image file's contextual menu
Last modified: 2012-12-18 13:15:09 UTC
A user who just switched from Windows to GNOME complained that unlike Windows, there was no item in the contextual menu of a desktop icon in order to set the desktop background out of an image file. The contextual menu only offer to view the image or to open it with some program. This minor usuability issue could be fixed by adding a new menu item below "View with...": "Set as background image". (Initially caught while using gnome-2.21 but sill there as of nautilus-2.23.6.1) Other information:
Thanks for the suggestion! Setting status to new - I'll leave it to the Nautilus developers to decide what to do about it.
