why root to set default desktop background?

Hi all,
This sure seems ridiculous to me.
I changed my desktop background. No problem. But when I chose "Make
Default" I was notified that takes super user permissions. What the
heck is that about?
This is the user. This is the user's desktop.
I can imagine the boss being thrilled to death that his sysadmin spends
his days changing his co-workers desktop backgrounds.
I don't know who or why but imo this is just plain lame.
I've posted to this list before about usability issues and the user
experience and in some ways it seems that each release gets clumsier. I
especially cringe when advised "make some change then reboot".
I suppose soon we'll have a button that says Start to shutdown ;/
