Nice idea, thanks. I changed the shortcut to Ctrl+F8 though, because plain F8 might be needed for navigation (see http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/input-keyboard.html.en#standard-shortcuts). commit d6a21b8f3adcb5a38f889cd419514835e3ff8226 Author: Cyriac Thomas <> Date: Sun May 3 21:15:32 2009 +0200 Bug 581180 – Set as background on Right click Added Set as Desktop background on the right click menu for the main image and image collection. Also added a Keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+F8" for the same.
