Bug Description

Impact
======
Users who selected the trusty slideshow wallpaper would get a blank background for 30 minutes since one of the listed wallpapers was misspelled in the .xml file.

The utopic slideshow wallpaper does not appear in the wallpaper choices in the Settings app.

Test Case
=========
To test the trusty slideshow without having it take all day, you can speed up the slideshow;

sudo sed -i s/1795/2/g /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntu-gnome/trusty.xml
sudo sed -i s/5.0/2.0/g /usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntu-gnome/trusty.xml

The slideshow version is the one with the small clock icon. (This assumes you are verifying the bug fix with Ubuntu GNOME.)

To undo your changes to the slideshow, just run
sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-gnome-wallpapers-trusty

Regression Potential
====================
None. These are simple typo fixes.

Original Bug Report
===================
In the source package, the last wallpaper in contest/trusty.xml is mistyped. This results in a blank wallpaper being shown for half an hour. A patch is attached.

I verified that u-g-wallpapaers-trusty and -utopic are correct in Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS.

I had some unrelated trouble with my 14.04 install so I haven't verified the package there yet.
