Most HOWTOs explaining how to change a wallpaper from the command line
recommend 'feh', 'nitrogen', or 'gsettings':

They never say that in case of xfce4 'xfdesktop --quit' also needs to be run.
This makes xfce4 an outlier defeating the standard way of doing this. If each
DE required such special step there would have been no single standard way of
doing this.

xfdesktop should be automatically disabled when the command line method is
used, like other DEs behave.
