Options for setting a desktop background (Center-Scale-Zoom-Tiles-etc) I
have a friend who's Dell Inspirion laptop was on its last legs, so I
assisted them in installing F18, but the feature for handling the desktop
background is gone...(missing? kidnapped?) Can anyone help with what needs
to be done in order to get it back?

clicking the user in the upper right corner, System Settings --> Background
(all of which is probably redundant as you have probably done this) - then,
with seemingly the same issue you have where there are no buttons, after
days I found that clicking the image is where the access point is.

I'm thinking you mean the actual picture you want to be set as your
background? Yeah, I'm clicking on that and I still get no settings that
will allow me to set whether the background is
Tiled.....Centered.......Fills the screen...Scales to size etc. I wonder if
there's a configuration file that can be altered?....and Thanks for the
reply!!

Not the image that you want, yet; click on the image inside the square.
This will give you the options for choosing a new image, and resizing is:

$  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options scaled
