Same experience here. I use the reload feature to update my desktop on demand based on events. As a workaround I'm creating duplicate background images in a directory and tell the desktop to switch every ten seconds. This is works but it's not synchronized with the event and it seems like an unnecessary use of resources to constantly update the image whether it's needed or not.
