I made a patch for gnome-desktop: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-desktop/commit/?id=6deb007f102d8ae9eabb10808f34d7129932dad3
The new version will fallback to load the default wallpaper if the user one is not available, not a fix for the original issue but it's better than having rendering issue and an empty background ** Also affects: gnome-desktop3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-desktop3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-desktop3 (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625357 Title: Previous custom ubuntu-wallpaper disappears after an Ubuntu upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/625357/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
