I found a setting in gconf-editor:

/apps/desktop/gnome/background/picture_opacity

The default is set to 100, but changing the value doesn't seem to have any effect. If I set it to e.g. 50, I expect the wallpaper to be half transparent, showing whatever is underneath, respecting the colors I've chosen for

/apps/desktop/gnome/background/primary_color
/apps/desktop/gnome/background/secondary_color

and the value chosen for

/apps/desktop/gnome/background/color_shading_type

Those last three values work as expected, but I only see a background color if I disable the background picture. I cannot see any background color just by reducing the opacity of the background picture.

Using Ubuntu 10.10, GNOME 1:2.28+1ubuntu4, gconf-editor 2.32.0-0ubuntu1. Not sure which package this would be in.
