Setting GNOME backround image from within a program

[Colin Davis <cdavis thepentagon com>]

I cannot seem to find a way to set the desktop backround image, from
within a GNOME program. Can anyone offer an example program that does
this? (In the windows world, this is  fairly common, [Internet explorer,
paintbrush, etc.])

Thank you very much
