Xfwm4 / compositor: gray background

[Harold Aling]

Dear list,

I recently changed back from Compton to Xfwm4's compositor to enable the
window previews in the application switcher, but now my utterly beautiful
wallpaper changed in a dull gray background.

Well, it turns gray after I "wipe the screen with a window" ;)

I used to use feh to scale a jpeg onto one of my screen configuration, but
nothing happens when I run this with Xfwm4's compositor on.
$ feh --bg-scale /home/harold/UtterlyBeautifulWallpapers/MostAwesome.jpg


How cat I set (and stretch) a wallpaper without having to install something
like Xfdesktop4?

I'm on Arch Linux, so I'm using the latest releases of the Xfce suite.
