I see. Yes, I have fixed it now. Basically, I just removed any 
background action. Since we have no files to tag, it makes it hard to 
tag anything there. I haven't checked, but perhaps there is an API to 
get the current background image in Nautilus? Either way, I also fixed 
the crash in case we enable the background function again.

Yes. You can, but only if you remove ALL tags from other files. There is 
no way to remove all tags for every file in one place. It works on the 
principle that if you uncheck the tag for each file that has the tag, it 
is automatically removed. I did wonder if we should have a "remove for 
all files" type button, but so far I couldn't see where to put such a 
button logically in the UI. It would take 5 minutes to do though :)

Thanks for spotting the issue ;)
