which is the latest I saw, dated 8-30-2015.

gsettings still fails, wallpaper turns into some brown default.

Settings Appearance still works.

This is the code that fails that worked fine a couple weeks ago:

#!/bin/bash
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:////home/jerry/Pictures/Shark_Island.jpg'
exit 0

I also tried this gsettings on an Acer Laptop with Wily updated
recently, gsettings fails the same way.

Note that the linux-headers-4.2.0-040200_4.2.0-040200.201508301530_
is a bit of a bear because the desktop icons fall off the left of the screen so it's pretty hard to guess where the icons are.

Title:
  gsettings fails to set wallpaper

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  until recent updates,

  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri
  'file:////home/jerry/Pictures/Shark_Island.jpg'

  reset wallpaper to the desired picture.  Most of the time Wily boots
  to a horizontally hashed wallpaper which used to be corrected by doing
  gsettings once or twice or three times, now I have to go to settings >
  wallpaper > to set the jpg several times until it clears up.

  Now gsettings fails, gets the original brown screen.  gsettings is
  broken failing to set the desired wallpaper.
