New to OS X question: scripting desktop picture

Okay, I see in the Finder dictionary that the application's "desktop
picture" property is a proxy - but for what?  System Preferences
doesn't seem to have anything useful, and I don't know where else that
would live.

I have two monitors and would like to script the desktop picture on my
secondary display, especially considering the frequency with which I
run into the "wake up with a blue desktop" scenario on my laptop.

I tried using System Events to script the preferences panel, but
scripting a click on one of the images doesn't seem to do anything,
even though a real click does.  Not sure what's going on there.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
