Yeah, it is. What I meant to do is allow regualr background setters to
work with xfce (well, xplanet, basically ;) so if you check the option
xfdesktop will look for changes in the _XROOTPMAP_ID property and change
the background accordingly.
It's an attempt to ease one of the annoyances that come with the
fullscreen background window. Feel free to remove it (or think of a
better solution :-)).
