OK figured out what the upstream comment meant :S or :) in any case too
much work
~/.local/share/gnome-background-properties/
cat >~/.local/share/gnome-background-properties/custom-wallpapers.xml <<EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE wallpapers SYSTEM "gnome-wp-list.dtd">
<wallpapers>
<wallpaper deleted="false">
<name>Pykler</name>
<filename>/home/pykler/.backgrounds/realtime/background.xml</filename>
<options>zoom</options>
</wallpaper>
</wallpapers>
EOF
Replace the path and name as needed, launch the Appearance in the gnome-
control-center and you will see the new "Pykler" background.
Again too much work.
I think the following command should do it, but couldn't get it to
refresh properly:
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename --type
string file:///home/pykler/.backgrounds/realtime/background.xml
