    [SOLVED] Ubuntu background

    I'm trying to write a program for changing the wallpaper depending on the current date. But the problem is that i couldn't find where is the file with the wallpaper settings. I've searched a lot in google and all I found was just the default settings in /usr/share/gconf/defaults/10_libgnome2-common, but when I change the line:
    /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /path_to_wallpaper
    nothing happens.
    I'm using ubuntu 8.10
    Thanks in advance

    use this command of gconf to set your wallpaper
    # gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /path/to/image.jpg
    Never make any misteaks.
