Changing the default wallpaper

[Danishka Navin]

i have rebuild desktop-background package as well as xfdesktop package

default.jpg -> /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/hant.jpg

and i can see the default.jpg file via browser
but its not appreaing on the Desktop as the default wallpaper
what could be the problem?

right now I can see a plan Desktop (with out a wallpaper)
 default wallpaper ( default.jpg ) not showing any image..

ll /usr/share/backgrounds/images/
