Problem with preseeding Desktop image

Im, trying to preseed a personal image and reading found to use:
     # Example to stablish the background image
    xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen01/monitor01/workspace01/image-path -s "/usr/share/backgrounds/mi_fondo.jpg"

Re: Problem with preseeding Desktop image

What do you mean by "preseed"?

The command you've identified is something that you would run in-session to set the wallpaper. You could add it to the Autostart Applications if you wanted to automated it. But then, why not just set if in the desktop properties and forget about it?

Are you looking at creating your own distro/spin/instance of Xfce and you want to make this default?
