Description António Fernandes 2013-04-22 15:38:22 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

     Drag and drop an item while holding the Alt key.

Result:

     This menu pops up:
     +-------------------+
     | Move Here         |
     | Copy Here         |
     | Link Here         |
     | Set as Background |
     | ----------------- |
     | Cancel            |
     +-------------------+

The "Set as Background" is always there, even though it is only ever sensitive if 1) the dragged item is an image file, and 2) the drop target is the Desktop, and 3) the Desktop folder feature is enabled (which is not default).

Since 3.6, nautilus has got a "Set as Wallpaper" action directly in the context menu for image files.

I think the "Set as Background" option from Alt-DnD menu deserves to be removed.

Completely agreed - I removed that in git master now.
