Hmmm, that might do the trick. A nice little script that set the
default background. It could even have an icon on the desktop like
the "Push new icons" script and the admin user could just drag-and-
drop a new default background.

I'll play around with gconftool-2 to see if I can get it to do this.

  gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "$1"
