Bug#655328: FWD: background picture can't be removed again

[jaakov jaakov]

Below you find the information on another system where the background removal fails. Executing two following lines does not help either:

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_options 'none'

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/primary_color "#000000"
