Setting the Gnome Desktop Background With a Script




<<  <   >  >>

You can use these two commands to set the Gnome desktop background: 

gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /path/pic.png
gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_options "centered"

This will put the picture in the center. If you want to fill the background with the picture use stretched.
