I don't mean to step on your toes, but what is wrong with management of
wallpapers (desktop background) in the rudimentary desktop environment?
KDE's handling of wallpapers, for example, is very powerful. If you see a
Webshots image that you like, you can just drag and drop it from Konqeror
onto some empty space in your Desktop and then select "Set as Background"
from the pop-up menu. You can do far beyong this, too.

Best wishes,

Roy
