Description Matthew Barnes 2011-03-09 14:46:59 UTC 
We'll need to do as Bastien says once we switch to GSettings:

Heya,

The setting to change the background picture has changed names:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633983

So if you were using "picture-filename" before, you'd need to use
"picture-uri" now. Note that gnome-desktop, which is the library setting
the background only supports local (file://) URIs.

I've already made the necessary changes to gsettings-desktop-schemas,
gnome-desktop and gnome-control-center.

Cheers

As the command is no longer effective perhaps it could just be dropped of the menu item, it will still be possible to open it in eog and set it as background from there…

Fixed for 3.1.1 in:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=e076ca2f77d5ecfba4677ad98a876beaed99052e

It makes sense to start integrating desktop-wide settings through GSettings, even if we're not yet ready to move our own settings to GSettings.
