OK figured out what the upstream comment meant :S or :) in any case too
much work

~/.local/share/gnome-background-properties/

cat >~/.local/share/gnome-background-properties/custom-wallpapers.xml <<EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE wallpapers SYSTEM "gnome-wp-list.dtd">
<wallpapers>
  <wallpaper deleted="false">
    <name>Pykler</name>
    <filename>/home/pykler/.backgrounds/realtime/background.xml</filename>
    <options>zoom</options>
  </wallpaper>
 </wallpapers>
EOF

Replace the path and name as needed, launch the Appearance in the gnome-
control-center and you will see the new "Pykler" background.

Again too much work.

I think the following command should do it, but couldn't get it to
refresh properly:

gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename --type
string file:///home/pykler/.backgrounds/realtime/background.xml
