After seeing your mail, I was able to configure my background to rotate
through multiple images on Jessie.  When you say you are unable to
change from the gray background, what are the steps you are trying?  On
the Desktop Settings dialog, what choice is selected under "Image"
(right-hand side of the "Background" tab)?
