DESCRIPTION

18       fbsetbg(1) is a wrapper that tries to find a suitable
19       background-setting app and then tries to set the wallpaper using that
20       app. You don’t have to configure fbsetbg. It just uses the first app it
21       can find.
22
23       Furthermore it supports remembering the last set wallpaper so you don’t
24       have to edit the style or init-file to change the wallpaper.
25
26       It aims to provide clear error messages in a window that make debugging
27       problems easy.
