Ack. I went and wrote this spiffy, long e-mail, and I was even mostly
right, but then I actually went and looked where I should've gone, first:
http://us.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdebase/kwmmodules/kbgndwm/Attic/README
And here's the output:
KCMDISPLAY & KBGNDWM
------------------------
This is README for two programs : kbgndwm and kcmdisplay - background
module
Both are part of KDE and require kwm to work properly.
Some new features :
1. One Desktop radio button -
some people want only one wallpaper for all desktop
- however, also this one desktop can be set to randomize
2. Random radio button - whether to use one wallpaper for a desktop or
randomly choose from the list.
3. Setup push button - opens dialog for setup of randomizing
- you can specify timer interval in miliseconds
- use drag and drop to create list of items
- you can create any kind of items, they do not have to contain
wallpaper f.e create two color background with a pattern
- use Add button for adding item with "No wallpaper"
- use Delete button to delete items
- in-order radio button - whether you want kbgndwm to choose files in
order or randomly
- for each desktop you may specify list of items ( using drag and drop )
and timer interval.
- kbgndwm will at given interval change wallpapers on desktops.
4. Docking radio button - kbgndwm can dock into kpanel. If you click on
dock window and random mode is set, then kbgndwm will change wallpaper
without waiting on timer
- clicking with right button opens popup menu with two items :
"Background Settings" will start "kcmdisplay background"
"One Desktop" toggles one desktop mode
5. More modes : Mirrored, Symmetrical Mirrored, Symmetrical Tiled,
Center Tiled, Centered Brick, Centered Warp, Centered Maxpect
6. Use drag and drop from kfm on the monitor widget in settings dialog to
quickly change wallpaper in the monitor
7. Use drag and drop from kfm on the docked widget to change wallpaper
8. Images larger than desktop are automatically scaled.

Well, as per the below manpage (which looks to be boilerplate), it is
probably not a program meant for stock end-user execution. I'm guessing
('cause this is almost always the case) that the "wm" has something to do
with your Window Manager, and the "k" (as per the manpage, at the least)
is KDE (generally, it's a safe bet to assume a "k" prefacing a program
stands for either KDE or kernel), and then the "bgnd" is background? All
of this is pretty much guesswork, but I bet we're on the right track...

NAME
undocumented - No manpage for this program, utility or
function.
DESCRIPTION
This program, utility or function does not have a useful
manpage. Please do not report this as a bug, because this
has already been reported as a bug; when a manpage becomes
available it will be included, and the bug report closed
<http://www.debian.org/Bugs/>. If you are a competent and
accurate writer and are willing to spend the time reading
the source code and writing good manpages please write a
better man page than this one. Please contact the package
maintainer in order to avoid several people working on the
same manpage.
