Well, Windowmaker *is* trying to set the background - the config is
stored in the Windowmaker config DB. Philosophical dicussions about
ownership of the root window, and whether desktop environments are a
good idea, aside we now have the worst of both worlds - a sucky way of
organising my backgrounds that also pisses you off for violating an X
Windows principle.
