Its not very discoverable, but you can drag colors from e.g. the gimp
color chooser, and drop them on the control-center background chooser.
Wow, that has to be the understatement of the year! Having taken a look at the background chooser myself when I saw Ryan's email I never would have thought to do something like that; I think "it's practically impossible to discover..." is more accurate.
Didn't the background chooser have a proper colour picker in it once?
