Know feature see #220231. How to reproduce ?
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop true
Logout/login you lost the background.
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop fase
logout/login, the background is back.
Solution ?
Write the above in gnome-control-center README.Debian file.
