Distribution/Version: ubuntu breezy

1)Open the background capplet
2)create a wallpaper with only a solid color
3)Select this wallpaper to set it as background
4)The background change to the selected one
5)Create a wallpaper with picture as wallpaper (size 1024*768 px)
6)Select this wallpaper to set it as background
7)The background change to the selected one
8)Select now the first wallpaper (with a solid color)

There is a such bug on the ubuntu bugzilla too,
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13257 ,with this comment:

"A bit further info by looking at the gconf setting:
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_options using gconf-editor:

1. When a wallpaper is selected, the setting is "stretched".
2. If select "no wallpaper" in gnome-background-properties dialog, the setting
change to "none" for a moment and quickly changed again to "wallpaper".
3. Close gnome-background-properties dialog now, and then reopen the dialog, the
setting changed yet again to "stretched""

Fixed in CVS now. This seems to have been caused by the fix for bug #157396
where we would end up setting the option menu to "tiled" if the key was not set
to one of the other 3 actual scaling options. The fix is to only set it to tiled
if it is not one of the other 3 actual options, or "none".
