Public bug reported: I am trying to set a desktop background in gnome-flashback. The background remains a kind of plum color and this error is displayed in the terminal (if I run gnome-control-center from there):
christian@endor:/etc$ gnome-control-center (gnome-control-center:4191): background-cc-panel-WARNING **: 20:54:24.409: Failed to load image: Unrecognized image file format I tried with .png and .jpg images. This worked in 18.10. In gnome DE and Ubuntu DE desktop backgrounds work fine. I can set any of the images I tried as wallpapers.
