Wonderful idea. Check out the attached perl script.
If the attachment didnt come thru, look at editbbstyle.txt in:
http://furt.com/code/perl/editbbstyle/
Usage: editbbstyle.pl <param> <new value>
It looks in your ~/.blackboxrc to determine your current style file,
then edits it for you.
setup a simple shell script in your ROX "Send To" directory:
#!/bin/sh
#set the background now
bsetbg -t $*
#save it into your style file so it's here next time we start BB
~/bin/editbbstyle.pl rootCommand: bsetbg -t $*
that will permanently change the background of your current style
to whatever image file (tiled) you right-clicked on.
