I tested on build 2013-01-08 on Ubuntu 12.04 and nothing works :-(

Btw, it's a nice feature !
As it's a user's choice, we have not to worry about readability of toobars.


May i make some suggestions on the pref panel ?
- why not keep the "own image" to select an image in local hd ?
- if i understand ok (images and personas are exclusive), we can have 
the choices :
      *Toolbar background*
        O Default
        O Image                  <Select Image...>
        O Firefox Persona        <Select Persona...>

	(I renamed "own image" to "Image")

- would it be possible to add a preview of image/persona ?
and a status text if there is an error (error loading image, error 
loading persona, timeout...).
 From a user pov, it's an expected feed-back before validating.

- to be complete, LO should keep the path of image/url of persona, and 
show it below the preview ; and the url should be entered automatically 
in the persona dialog.



So my complete suggestion in ascii :

      *Toolbar background*
        O Default
        O Image                  <Select Image...>
        O Firefox Persona        <Select Persona...>

          [Status text, only if error]
        +---------------------------+
        |                           |
        |         preview           |
        |                           |
        |                           |
        +---------------------------+
        path/url : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx





Thanks,
