And because it is a wiki, I just changed it.
HINT: you can do similar things in the maemo.org wiki...  ;-)

More importantly ;-) I don't see "Diablo" in that list, although that is
also a wind:

First things first, it's "Fremantle", the code names come from a list of

The backgrounds can be changed by writing the image file name to GConf:

/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/0/bg-image
/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/1/bg-image
/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/2/bg-image
/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/3/bg-image

(This is how N900's Images application does it.)

Changing Freemantle Desktop Backgrounds

[Jonathan Blake]

First post here, so greetings, etc. :)

As some of you may know, I'm currently developing a wallpaper management
application (python) that ties into n900wallpapers.com. However, the big
roadblock I've come up across so far is actually changing the user's desktop
background.

The only information I can find on this is a bug report from 2008 (
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3030) and some C code, also from 2008
for hildon 2.0 (
http://timeless.justdave.net/mxr-test/os2008/source/hildon-desktop-2.0.6/background-manager/background-manager.c
).

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
