Where is the "config" for the background file that is showing?

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know where the file is that tells xfce what the wallpaper path to the background image is?

There is a very nice python script being created that allows for some wonderful stuff with conky, and I was asked:

If you can tell me how the wallpaper setting is stored in xfce I might be able to figure it out....nautilus stores it's wallpaper path in gconf, what about xfce?

I'd really like to see Desktop Info App With Html Support (gtk-desktop-info) work with Xfce

Thanks for your time.
Bruce

Assuming you're using Xfce 4.4, look in ~/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/desktop.xml:

YES! That's it.

Thank you kindly,
Have a nice day.
