Bug Description

I don't know why, but wallpaper is not using gsettings, but a keyfile in .config/wallpaper. It is slow and unpratical, not standard with the gnome desktop. So, if you change wallpaper background, nautilus background will not be changed, etc... it is stored in org.gnome.desktop.background.picture-uri, and the tiles option is picture-option.

What's worse, when migrating to Wallpaper, it shows black screen instead of your previous wallpaper from GNOME. Ugh.

The latest builds do use dconf, plus I don't believe we want/need compatibility with nautilus' background. Plus we don't want/need to cater to GNOME when Pantheon's not GNOME. It's using a DE-agnostic key now.
