GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 701315
In background settings, not to select a different default wallpaper or an image, only allows colors.

Fedora 19 beta test. This looks like a fedora specific bug. When trying to select a different wallpaper official distribution, shows only wallpaper color. The same is true when trying to select a custom image. The only real change is when you change a color in the palette. This behavior is dragged from fedora alpha and is kept up to date (last updated 30-May)
Are you saying that there are no wallpapers or pictures shown in the popup dialog, or that selecting one does not take effect ?

The wallpaper I select in the background panel, do not take effect. For example, selecting a wallpaper either, or a picture of my folder, is represented by a "white" in the Gnome desktop.
Created attachment 245774 [details] Consequences of selecting a wallpaper in fedora 19 Attached screenshot that illustrates the problem presented. You can see a wallpaper I selected the default list, and how it is actually rendered on the desktop.
I understand that there may be more themes GNOME priority but upgrading to 3.8.3 the problem still remains. Thinking it might be a configuration problem, I reinstalled fedora 19 beta again and updated throughout the day, however, I realized that the problem persists.
gnome-shell is responsible for drawing the background now. Do you use any extensions or made particular changes in gnome-tweak-tool (like themes, etc.)?
could be bug 702283 what's the output of $ glxinfo -l |grep GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE
@Bastien As I mentioned a little above, thinking it might be a configuration problem reinstalled the whole system from scratch, so I have no extensions installed (even gnome-tweak-tool or dconf-editor). I repeat that it is only with some pictures (do not know the pattern of the problem yet). @Ray The output is: GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 2048 Definitely the bug 702283 is related and is the source of the error. I guess then that I have submitted bug should be marked as a duplicate of bug 702283. Thank you very much.
alright, as a workaround until bug 702283 is fixed, just make sure to use backgrounds that are less than 2048 pixels tall and less than 2048 pixels wide. Hopefully we'll have the issue resolved soon! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 702283 ***
