Description Robert Roth 2012-02-13 03:34:22 UTC 
Forwarded from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/927302

- Open the Background panel of the GNOME control center.
- click on the "+" sign on the bottom to add another wallpaper
- browse and select some bmp file

expected: the file should be added and you should be able to select it as a background (this happens with jpg files)

observed: the file browser closes but the file is not added. No error message is given

If the bmp file format is not supported (which I don't see why it shouldn't be) or if anything is wrong with the file itself, an error message should be given.

    And add image/bmp to those types.
