The reason for this exception is interesting: The mozilla gnome shell service handles 3 and 6 "digits" long colors (such as #ccc or #c0c0c0), but it appears that, at least on my desktop, the value is longer than that: $ gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/background/primary_color #767684848f8f The exception prevents the rest of setDesktopBackground.js to run, which explains the dialog doesn't work properly. If I change the /desktop/gnome/background/primary_color key to be of expected length, the dialog works again (except that the default picked color is apparently wrong, but I haven't checked if it was intended). All in all, this looks like something else did set a b0rked primary_color. After some tries, it looks like gnome-appearance-properties is responsible for this. pkg-gnome people, is that intended, or is that a bug?
