The only reference of the "picture_opacity" gconf key is removed by
below commit from Nautilus. Maybe this is not a bug (or feature request)
of Nautilus.

    background: refactor code into NautilusDesktopBackground
    
    Remove the DirectoryBackground->EelBackground->GnomeBG abstraction and
    add a new object, NautilusDesktopBackground, which is a thin wrapper
    around GnomeBG, which takes care of handling background changes.

Title:
  gconf wallpaper "picture_opacity" setting has no effect

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I found a setting in gconf-editor:

  /desktop/gnome/background/picture_opacity

  The default is set to 100, but changing the value doesn't seem to have
  any effect. If I set it to e.g. 50, I expect the wallpaper to be half
  transparent, showing whatever is underneath, respecting the colors
  I've chosen for

  /desktop/gnome/background/primary_color
  /desktop/gnome/background/secondary_color

  and the value chosen for

  /desktop/gnome/background/color_shading_type

  Those last three values work as expected, but I only see a background
  color if I disable the background picture. I cannot see any background
  color just by reducing the opacity of the background picture.

  Using Ubuntu 10.10, GNOME 1:2.28+1ubuntu4, gconf-editor
  2.32.0-0ubuntu1. Not sure which package this would be in.
