Works fine here, though you'll have to change the color too, leaving at default won't set your desktop background.

Upstream bugreports:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437292
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421977

The 2nd bugreport contains a patch that should be applied to xulrunner to make this work, but there's workarounds in the bugreports too. I won't apply this patch for now, but I'll keep track on the bugs for the next version. Note that the final patch in the 2nd bugreport is still in review and hasn't been approved yet.
