Hi, Antony. Do you mean it works despite the fatal error?? Or that it doesn't work? I don't have it installed, but wmsetbg should accept the ``-display <foo>'' option or an equivalent; replace <foo> with the actual name of the display to change the wallpaper in; just examine the $DISPLAY environment variable from within a running X session. If you have just one local X session at any given time, it probably will be ``:0''. If you have a more complicated setup, looking @ /proc/`pidof some-X-app`/environ should do.
