23DESCRIPTION
24-----------
25*fbsetbg(1)* is a wrapper that tries to find a suitable background-setting app
26and then tries to set the wallpaper using that app. You don't have to configure
27fbsetbg. It just uses the first app it can find.
28
29Furthermore it supports remembering the last set wallpaper so you don't have to
30edit the style or init-file to change the wallpaper.
31
32It aims to provide clear error messages in a window that make debugging problems
33easy.
