Desktop Background not settable

[Marv Wagner]

When I attempt to use a jpg image as my background, the controls for the
desktop background are all greyed out. This includes the Browse.. button,
Position drop-down and the Background: selection box. I was able to get a
photo on my background by selecting it in explorer and selecting "Set as
Desktop Background". How did this get disabled? How do I re-enable it so I
can select stretch, center, etc?
