Please, don't alter this file directly, it wouldn't work. If you want to
change your background per script, use »xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p
/backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path -s <file>«, or update to 4.10.

I added some tiny bash script (tiny := code < gpl header) which should
work. Help for improving is appreciated.
