Comment 21 for bug 1159430

I don't know if this is useful to anyone, but in the Unity-for-Arch project, I just reverted the changes that removed background support.

The patches are available here: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-for-Arch/tree/master/nautilus-ubuntu Just reverse apply them with "patch -p1 -R -i /path/to/patch"

They're slightly different from the upstream git commits in that they don't re-add the gnome_bg_set_draw_background() call (from old versions of gnome-desktop) and therefore work with libgnome-desktop 3.8.
