UPDATE: The hsetroot tool is a very nice command-line background image setter.

The following scripts, with qwerty12's packages installed in maemo, hsetroot installed in Easy Debian, and your background set to plain black, sets the desktop background to the image you supply as a parameter, and then lightens it enough to offset the transparent black background. Yes, I kill xcompmgr; all we want is transparency.

You set the initial image with startback and change the image with setback.

script name: /usr/bin/setback

Code:

debbie hsetroot -center $1 -brightness .1

script name: /usr/bin/startback

Code:

killall xcompmgr
xcompmgr &
transset-df -i 0x00c00003 --inc 1
transset-df -i 0x00c000af --inc 1
transset-df -i 0x00c00003 --dec .75
transset-df -i 0x00c000af --dec .75
setback $1

e.g.

Code:

startback /media/mmc1/wallpaper/lonesomehouse_800x480.jpg

finally, the screenshot.
