>> I have see it has a config file with two interesting options.
>>
>> webilder.wallpaper_set_method and webilder.wallpaper_script.

>> You can set the first to "script" and the second to:
>>
>> xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path -s "%f"

> The xfconf-query command can be used in the preferences dialog >
> advanced which works fine for me. I can provide a patch for only
> having to click on "Use Xfce parameters".
