fbsetbg(1) is not foolproof.

fbsetbg(1) is a wrapper that tries to find a suitable background-setting app and then tries to set the
       wallpaper using that app. You don’t have to configure fbsetbg. It just uses the first app it can find.

       Furthermore it supports remembering the last set wallpaper so you don’t have to edit the style or
       init-file to change the wallpaper.

       It aims to provide clear error messages in a window that make debugging problems easy.

wpsetters
           Wallpapersetters to use. This can be a space-delimited list of the applications to try, or just a
           single name.

       DISPLAY
           The display you want to set the wallpaper on.

       To use feh(1) as wallpapersetter and set wallpapper.jpg from the current directory as wallpaper.

           $ wpsetters=feh fbsetbg wallpaper.jpg

       Recall the last set wallpaper on display :0.0 with the stored options.

           $ DISPLAY=:0.0 fbsetbg -l

~/.fluxbox/lastwallpaper
           In this file the wallpaper you set will be stored, for the -l option.
