Bug#459354: gnome: using change desktop background with right-click from desktop doesn't work

[indigo196 at rochester.rr.com]

Josselin:

1.  If stable supported my hardware I would be more than happy to run it
-- it is my preference. Is there a way to compile a newer kernel and
still run 'Etch'?

2.  Am I mistaken that I should report 'bugs' in your testing version? I
thought that was important to do so you guys can resolve issues; did I
do something wrong?

3.  Is there a way to 'upgrade' my version of nautilus to match the
gnome-control-center?

I am sorry that I am new to Debian/Linux and do not know these answers.
My hope to is cram as much knowledge in as possible so that I can
contribute to the community.

Thanks for your response and any suggestion you have to get Debian on my
workstation.

PS -- it runs great on my laptop.
