command line to change wallpaper

[- Kocil]

There are several command line tools to change the background, e.g:
* chbg (I recomend this), it also has a periodic background changer
* xloadimage (the classic)

However, you must turn off xfdesktop to use them,
otherwise xfdesktop would overlap the root-background with his own 
background.
