In a later commit (http://git.yorba.org/cgit.cgi/shotwell/commit/?h=shotwell-0.9&id=ff847b76cea89c769a144bb7116ac41b336a7974), we implemented exactly what Sebastien had suggested, which is to say we now write to both GConf and GSettings. Note that this latter change is present in Shotwell 0.9.3 as shipped and "Set as Desktop Background" has been tested and verified to work correctly on Maverick, Natty, and Fedora Core 15 (GNOME 3) systems. I think you guys were just looking at an earlier commit. ;-)
