Set background image in Nautilus File Manager in Ubuntu

Here is the step by step procedure for the geekier approach.
Method 1 (The manual method) :
- Open a terminal window
- Type this command in the terminal
gedit .gconf/apps/nautilus/preferences/%gconf.xml
- The file “%gconf.xml” will get opened in “GEdit” text editior
- Reach to the line which is something similar to this:
<entry name=”background_filename” mtime=”1204974947″ type=”string”>
<stringvalue>/home/jit159/k1.jpg</stringvalue>
</entry>
<stringvalue>/home/jit159/k1.jpg</stringvalue>
</entry>
- Now give the path to the image file in between the element
- My image path is /home/jit159/k1.jpg
- Here is the result
<stringvalue>your_image_path_here</stringvalue>
Thats the end of the story.

Yo todo este tipo de opciones las modifico desde el gconf-editor (lo podéis escribir en una terminal y os aparecerá el entorno)
e igualmente en el árbol vais a
apps -> nautilus -> preferences
Y en este editáis el parametro “background_filename” poniendo la ruta de la imagen.
