Make gconftool-2 set wallpaper from root dir

Question

There are wallpapers in a root directory. I need to set to some user that I choose a wallpaper from that directory.

How can I do that? Thank you.

Answer 1

One simple solution:

#Make wallpaper directory in an appropriate location
mkdir /var/wallpaper  
#Set RW permission for all  
chmod 666 /var/wallpaper  
#Set sticky so all new files catch that permission  
chmod +t /var/wallpaper  
#copy your wallpapers there  
cp ./wallpapers* /var/wallpaper/

then select wallpaper from /var/wallpaper/ in gconftool-2

that should do it...
