Changing desktop pictures

Hi all
I've sorted out how to update the desktop picture path from finder, and found the same thing in the list archives; but setting a new path to a different picture doesn't update the desktop picture itself. Short of restarting, I can't find a way to tell it to update - relaunching the finder leaves the background as it is, and I'm not at all convinced I can script window manager (which seems to be handling the changes when I set it to auto-update every 5 seconds)

Any tips?

-Pete
