Hello Sebastian,

The wallpaper is stored in ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/Originals. I have not
modified permissions on any of the folders. It uses default permissions.

I just copied a picture to my ~/Public folder and set it as my wallpaper
and it worked this time. It does seem permissions is the issue. It seems
related to the bug you mentioned.

Thanks :)

Abhishek
