with a few modifications, your example can be used to actually look like a desktop wallpaper:
##################################################### --- --- ################################################### However, as soon as you call something like "pcmanfm --desktop" to get desktop icons your Tkinter "wallpaper" will be hidden underneath. *** DG This is not a problem since this machine will have no user interaction with the desktop, no mouse, no keyboard. The desktop is just an information center. All other activity will be controlled from the BeagleBone GPIO.
