The script has the following lines in it:

conf_client = gconf.client_get_default()
conf_client.add_dir("/desktop/gnome/background", gconf.CLIENT_PRELOAD_NONE)
conf_client.set_string("/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename",
xml_file_path)

As I said in the first email, this (gnome-control-center doesn't use
gconf anymore to store background image information) has stopped
working. I haven't had an opportunity to go home, open up my laptop
and try dconf as Michael said, but gconf doesn't do the job anymore
since F15.

Cool script though. I'll spend some time on this today and let you
know the new command-line.
