Ok that explains a lot :)

Yap i think i understand what you meant now. I was
also thinking of adding a Custom/Movable feature where
a user could move the picture around the desktop and
put it at a particular position. Probably for things
like watermark effect on other images. A beautiful
landscape picture with 'tux', distro or xfce logo
watermarked at the edge of the image, i think is a
good example.

Though that would mean some addition to the settings
gtk interface. I guess i have to read more on gtk :P. 
Hopefully my next post will contain a patch ;)

Thanx
