1. In menu choose: settings -> desktop settings. On appearance tab select "show image" option, create new wallpapers list with only one picture.
2. Open Thunar. In edit menu choose "Configure custom actions". Add new action, name it somehow,  in command box insert:
Code:

sed -i -e "s:^/.*$:%f:" -e "s:^'::" -e "s:'$::" /path/to/list/created/in/step_1 && xfdesktop -reload

On "appearance condition" tab select image files.

If you right click on image in thunar you will see your new action, try it smile
