Bug Description

With the light theme enabled, you can set the desktop wallpaper by right-clicking on an image file's icon in the file manager and selecting "Set As Wallpaper". When you do this the Desktop wallpaper changes straight away.

Now change to dark theme and repeat the above steps. The wallpaper never changes. You can however change the wallpaper fine using Gnome settings -> Appearance.

Thanks
Nick
