Ubuntu's is GNOME 3.0's one, plus moar buttons!
I really don't think that any more options than there are in the Background
panel will 1) help us get more users 2) stop us from covering the 90%
use cases.
"I want to use a gradient background with my company's watermark on top" isn't
top of the things I would want the Background panel to cover.
If you have specifics, please bring them forward.

I'd want all that information before we even think of adding any configuration
to gnome-control-center.
