Were does the desktop background information get stored?

[Jean-David Beyer]

I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and I can easily change the look
of the desktop by right clicking on an empty part of the desktop and
selecting Change Desktop Background.

I would like to be able to have a cron script change the image displayed
depending on the time and day of the week. That would be easy if I knew
where the information is stored. But I do not know where that is.

If I click Help on that screen, it brings up a window that may have the
information, but it crashes very fast before I can read it.

Hi,
I don't think, this is somehow connected with SELinux.

Try some other mailing list, like fedora-desktop.

Regards,
Lukas.
