Can not set a background image from a mounted archive

[Alessio Bolognino]

It's easy to reproduce:

1. Put an image in a zip archive
2. Mount that archive with "archive mounter"
3. Try to set that image as background with either "drag 'n' drop + Alt" on the desktop or by dragging the image in the Appearance Preferences
4. Watch it fail

I guess it's a Nautilus bug, but I'm not really sure. Karmic user here.

For the record this bug is still here in Lucid

Hello
Is this problem present with the latest updated Lucid's or Maverick's packages?
Thanks in advance
Fabio

I'm using maverick full updated and the bug is still here.

It looks like now dragging on Appearance Preferences does work now, but dragging to the desktop + alt + release mouse button + set as background does not.

Hello Alessio
I can reproduce the issue that dragging the mounted image to the desktop + Alt + release mouse button + set as background don't work.
But i've noted that instead to show the image it change the background to white.

the issue should be fixed in GNOME3 which does a copy of the image rather than refer to its url
