On my dual video Lenovo thinkpad T520, I had this same issue. I deleted
all the nvidia video stuff, then installed the intel I965 video files.
Rebooting allowed the system to come and set the correct resolution.
Then the backgrounds worked correctly.
Thanks for the reply.
That sounds like a sledge hammer work-around.
I should add that wallpaper was working correctly until I did an
'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' last Sunday:

One idea -- for each of the above files:
1. Find the previous version.
2. 'apt-get install package=version' it.
3. Test wallpaper.
