A-ha! Indeed, thanks. However, I really find this a very un-elegant way of
doing something that is possibly quite common among average usage. For
example, except the fact that there is a serious discoverability issue with
the ALT key about this, I need to press ALT key *after* I started dragging
my image file to the nautilus window, because otherwise Metacity grabs the
ALT key and moves the window instead of displaying the context menu you are
mentioning. Currently is just not nicely done...

I believe that this whole deal would be much simpler for everyone if there
was a checkbox at the end of the Backgrounds dialog letting you set that
option.
