GNOME would show a solid background (blue apparently) if it can't find the background specified by the gsettings schema. gnome-control-center would just show an empty list of backgrounds but there is still an Add Picture button and the app works. I think it does not look good to not have any desktop background. I could do this: - have gnome-shell Depend on gnome-control-center instead of Recommends. This is needed for the buttons to work in the right click context menu on the GNOME Shell desktop and for the network settings button to work in the top right corner. - don't have gnome-shell depend or recommend desktop-base or gnome-backgrounds - keep gnome-control-center's Depends: desktop-base - keep gnome-core's Depends: gnome-backgrounds This is probably more helpful for Debian derivatives since I don't think most should need to modify gnome-shell but it is common for distros to ship different wallpaper. Debian derivatives may need to make changes to gnome-control-center anyway. Someone who installs gnome-shell without gnome-core will still have a working background by default.
