Judging from your comments, you've removed Nautilus and as I explained in my comments, Nautilus is what manages the desktop (and wallpaper) in Ubuntu.

The easiest fix is just to reinstall Nautilus. You don't have to use it for anything but managing the desktop.

The harder route is getting Nemo to manage your desktop. This post seems to suggest that this is all that's required but I find it hard to believe:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false

gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons true
