Bug Description

Impact
======
mate-appearance-properties only looks for backgrounds that register themselves in /usr/share/mate-background-properties/

The only packages in Ubuntu that use their directory are mate-backgrounds, mate-screensavers-common and the ubuntu-mate-wallpapers-* pacakges instead register in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/

Quite a few packages use /usr/share/gnome-background-properties instead.

Reported at https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-control-center/issues/268

Test Case
=========
Install ubuntu-wallpapers.
Right-click on the MATE desktop and select Change Desktop Background
The Ubuntu default wallpapers should show in the list.
