Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I try to drag and drop a wallpaper from gnome-appearance-properties to the desktop. Then I get an error popup.

By launching the gnome-appearance-properties applets through term I can the the following message when I begin drag 'n drop :

(gnome-appearance-properties:24549): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_view_drag_begin: assertion `item != NULL' failed

I don't know if it is normal, because the feature is not yet implemented and developers like better to keep drag 'n drop activated.
In this case, I don't think it is a really good choice (the user could think it is a bug like i am now doing).

If anyone could give me more informations about this. Waiting for a response I will try to investigate in the gnome-appearance-properties code.
