    backgound picture is placed outside display

    Hi there,
    I have encounter a strange problem. I have successfully changed background picture. All looks fine:
    ```
    gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.background
    org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'wallpaper'
    org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#000000000000'
    org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false
    org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///home/tom/team/thj.jpg'
    org.gnome.desktop.background color-shading-type 'solid'
    org.gnome.desktop.background draw-background true
    org.gnome.desktop.background picture-opacity 100
    org.gnome.desktop.background secondary-color '#000000000000'
    ```
    However, my background doesnt work and looks like:

    back_normal.jpg

    Strange is that when I click on Activities, my background picture appear:

    back_activities.jpg

    Once I finish Activities, background picture is gone and my background is black again.

    Any idea what might be wrong?


    thx, Tomas

    Your colors settings look to be too long, it should be six characters long.
    like #000000, or #FFFFFF
    try resetiing them to the system defaults.
    Code:
    gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color 
    gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.background secondary-color
    I'm not sure if that's the issue, but it's something I noticed.

    thanks @deadflowr

    i tried:
    ```
    gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.background
    org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'zoom'
    org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#023c88'
    org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false
    org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/adwaita-timed.xml'
    org.gnome.desktop.background color-shading-type 'solid'
    org.gnome.desktop.background draw-background true
    org.gnome.desktop.background picture-opacity 100
    org.gnome.desktop.background secondary-color '#5789ca'
    ```

    but problem is still there. If I click in Activities I can see background picture, otherwise I dont.
    Really strange
