The information in that blog post is not entirely correct. If you want to be able to set different background for all 9 views, you also need to install an enhanced version of hildon-home. Instructions for this are somewhere in this thread.
Also, "nabeel - n900/images/01.jpg" is not a correct path.
Anyone know if there are downsides to using modified desktop? I am wondering if systems updates would still happen, etc..
bunch of warnings not to use this app in that link, its old and cant be updated (paraphrasing whats on the page in the comments section) just wait till some one makes a app for it i would suggest. or ask some one to do it

You don't know what you are talking about.
The version that should not be used is the one in extras-devel (which has been removed from that repository, since then).
The version in my repository is current, supported (in the sense that I fix bugs if found), and is perfectly safe. It works just like hildon-desktop, and you can only enable the extra features you are interested in.

woaaa... easy turbo.. remember i typed "(paraphrasing whats on the page in the comments section)" i just saw a question and answered it. i didnt check the dates on it. but i would hope that anyone going to install this or anything for that matter would investigate more. I was scared off by the first few comments on that page. but yes i agree, i dont know first hand what i am talking about. just passing on some of the info from that ink to save folks a click and a bunch of comments.
But since it's perfectly safe as you say that is awesome!
i love the modded hildon desktop congrats!

That is what I am doing, but the background remains black. My drives name is .barbalonga and there is a folder in it called images, inside there is a pic called 01.jpeg.
when i run that command with the same line you posted except 01.jpeg in the pics name it remains black.
when i run the command with /.barbalonga/images/01.jpeg it still remains black.

Thank you for your help :-)
If your folder ".barbalonga" is located inside the folder "images", you should write:
