This bug is *not* a duplicate of #1626756.
#1626756 is about a missing wallpaper depending on the state of
org.gnome.desktop.background.show-desktop-icons.
This is about a missing wallpaper depending on the state of
org.gnome.metacity.compositing-manager. I tried again, and ...show-
desktop-icons has no effect on this.
In zesty (metacity 1:3.24.0-2ubuntu1) the situation has become even
worse: It will not show a wallpaper if compositing is disabled, ever. In
yakkety (metacity 1:3.20.3-1ubuntu2), the wallpaper was at least visible
when switching compositing on and off again.
