REVISION SUMMARY
  It comes up a lot online that users have difficulty figuring out how to change the wallpaper. Yes, really! I'm serious! This baffles people like us because there's a totally simple way: right-click on the Desktop or left-click on the Desktop Toolbox and choose "Configure Desktop". However since that menu item doesn't have the word "Wallpaper" in it, a lot of users never seem to make the mental leap that Wallpapers are associated with the Desktop, and instead conclude that there's no way to change the wallpaper, since they can't find it in System Settings, either.
  
  This patch updates the menu item to add the word "Wallpaper", making the presence of the feature hugely more obvious.
  
  CCBUG: 391485

TEST PLAN
  Now more obvious in the Desktop Toolbox menu:
  
  Now more obvious in the context menu:
