Well, there's always the manual :) : in a terminal execute the command: man
wmsetbg
If that don't work, try executing: wmsetbg --help
What it comes down to is something like: wmsetbg --center image.jpg .
Though I always use the utility called wmakerconf to change the
background (apt-get install wmakerconf) since I can't be bothered with
man-pages and helpfiles :)
Good luck,
Maarten.
