Changing background programatically

[Alberto Manuel Brandão Simões]

I'm changing ~/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/desktop.xml file (replacing 
the image name) and then, calling xfdesktop -reload. but the image does 
not change.

If I open the desktop configuration panel, it shows the old filename 
(and changes back the desktop.xml file).

More ideas?
Thanks.
Alberto
