Bug#623519: gnome-control-center: existing wallpapers stopped working on upgrade to 3.x (move to URIs)

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.0.0.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi folks,

I've just made the leap to GNOME3 as represented in
sid/experimental today.  (Good work btw!)

The only issue I can report so far is that my wallpaper
failed to work upon starting GNOME3: Instead I got a black
background.

Starting gnome-control-center via "System Settings" and
navigating to "Background", I could pick my wallpaper from
the list -- it would show up there, and show up on the mini
monitor picture inside the applet, but not on the real
wallpaper.

~/.xsession-errors showed:

	jon at tchicaya:~$ grep allpap .xsession-errors
	(gnome-control-center:23808): background-cc-panel-WARNING **: URI '/home/jon/Dropbox/jon/wallpaper/nin/ghosts/10 Ghosts II.jpg' is invalid
	(gnome-control-center:23808): background-cc-panel-WARNING **: URI '/home/jon/Dropbox/jon/wallpaper/nin/ghosts/10 Ghosts II.jpg' is invalid

Taking the hint, I clicked 'Add' and navigated to one of
my wallpapers.  This time it worked -- the paper appeared
on my desktop immediately.  However, all my other wallpapers
disappeared (I guess g-c-c took the opportunity to rewrite
my wallpaper file, or remove the old one and create a new
one).

The wallpapers themselves are of course fine -- but I have
to manually add them back to g-c-c, one-by-one.
