Bug Description

I'm using Elementary OS Freya on an HP Stream 13 notebook.

My desktop background is set to black when choosing a .png image.

I tweeted @elementary about this and they told me to report the bug.

Here's a screenshot about the issue.

I think it doesn't go just black, it adopts your selected background color (at the bottom right).

Yes, I've noticed that, but the problem is more than anything that I can't set a .png image as wallpaper.

It happens to me not only for png image, but all pictures which are from my home folder.

I can set my wallpaper now, it doesn't create the "~/.local/share/backgrounds/" itself, after I create the folder and re-login, I can set .jpg and .png image as my wallpaper.
