The corresponding gsettings comand line would be: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///home/user/Pictures/wallpaper.xml'
But you should be very careful what you put in that XML file. Relative paths aren't supported, for example. If one of the images can't be found, Unity will crash and can only be resurrected by resetting the above to something invalid or a valid picture. While I'd like to have user configurable animated background like you all, I can see that the feature is not quite ready for general consumption yet. Yes, this is a feature request. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868850 Title: the background panel doesn't let you add xml wallpapers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/868850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
