I think it's wrong. We do not need to have Nautilus installed and
running to be running Gnome 2. That's my case, i use ROX for my file
manager and nothing for my desktop (don't want and don't need icons on
it). I don't see why i must have Nautilus running to be able to easily
draw a background on my desktop. 

But this argument isn't that good, it's for my special case. Let's see a
better one : setting my background image is done with a Gnome
preference, not a Nautilus one. I do not need nautilus to be able to set
it. Why should i have to be running Nautilus for it to be set or
changed ?!

So, if nautilus is launched, it should take care of the background, if
not, Gnome should take care of it. Just like it was in Gnome 2.2
