as of Sept 12 Wily updates gsettings still fails to work, reverts to
default brown screen.

Installed Utopic kernel on Wily, now Settings Appearance Wallpaper
displays jpg fine.  With Wily kernel displays unreadable.

gsettings settings fails with Utopic kernel on Wily.

With Utopic kernel on Wily,, Settings Appearance Wallpapers sets
Wallpaper O.K.

Nothing in syslog or .xsession-errors or Xorg.0.log when gsettings
fails.

Is there any way to get something back from gsettings when it doesn't
work?

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.
