This is the reply I got from upstream :-

"https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/nautilus/trusty:

    patches/ubuntu_revert_no_wallpaper.patch:
      - revert upstream changes to use a rgba desktop view, until the other
      components are ready for that change, see lp #1159430 for details "

I saw the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1159430 .

I have no idea if that is good or bad fix or what needs to be done.
Looking to you and other Debian-GNOME team members to take a call and
do what you think is good for us.
