yeah. clipping is good. btw - i'd add 1 checkbox "use background from theme" -
this makes your background NULL/empty (and probably should clear the preview
and selecxtion in the ilist). otherwise this is fine for a basic bg browser.
one thing we do need is an importer (add a button i think for that) to import a
standrad jpg/png etc. - click on the import an image button to pop up the
importer dialog.

since it's a .edj - thats already included in the bg. i would say defining your
default be AND then being able to see the special bg's  for allt he desktosp
you have (have a table grid - scrollabr probably with "empty" cells (edjes) for
desktops with no bg set (ie they use your default, if one is set) as well as
the selection for the default bg on it - and the import button as above, as
well as "no default bg" as above (use theme). btw - for the preview i suggest
using a "livethumb" object that makes a real live scaled down canvas - either
make it zone size (whatever the current zone's size is) as a vitual resolution
or choose something fixed (800x600 to keep cpu usage low). it's arbitrary
really. i suggest using the zone res as well then the preview looks authentic.

the other thing we need is an importer dialog. this is where you can use the
fileman smart to browse, select your jpg/png, select from a set of recipies
(tiles, scaled, scaled retaining aspect, select some bg clor if the image may
not fill the screen, maybe even be able to select an alpha blended watermark
image/logo and location etc. etc. etc.) and then this exec's edje_cc with a
template .edc generated from codre (for now just have it inlined int he code.
for e18 i think we can move this to be a full custom tmeplate system where
someone can create a template stuf .edc fo their own that can do custom
layouts/layerings (eg always add a shaded dropshadow and watermark logo) etc.
etc.)
