When browsing images in Xubuntu's default picture viewer, it cannot execute the option to set image as desktop background. After selecting this option, reporting success and not changing the background, I click 'preferences' and am told:

Could not show the desktop background properties

Failed to execute child process "gnome-appearance-properties" (No such file or directory)
