DESCRIPTION
fbsetbg is a wrapper that tries to find
a suitable background-setting app and then tries to set the
wallpaper using that app. You don't have to configure fbsetbg. It
just uses the first app it can find.
Furthermore it supports remembering the last set wallpaper so
you don't have to edit the style or init-file to change the
wallpaper.
It aims to provide clear error messages in a window that make
debugging problems easy.
