Set as desktop background fails

[stevek]

Ubuntu: 8.04
Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121621 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.5
I saw you had a fix posted. This is a clean installation (yesterday) on a new drive, and I've reinstalled Firefox today. The bug is still present. The set as desktop background works the first time, but upon subsequent attempts, it fails. The image doesn't appear in the "monitor" until you change the option from Stretch to Center, for example. Even then, the Set Desktop Background button doesn't work.

The reason I reported it was because the bug report referenced (206191)
is flagged as "Fixed." Clearly, it's not, so I must not understand how
this site works. Apologies for that...

It is marked as fixed in Intrepid, but still has a task open for Hardy
