Do these two lines of code give you anything useful ...
tell application "System Events" to (picture of current desktop) as alias tell application "Finder" to name of the result
The only problem I see is that the name is returned with the file extension.
Good point Luther. The extension is not a problem as Robert asked for it in its late message (the extension is not available in the GUI). Here is an edited version written because I don't see the need to speak to the Finder. I defined two variables so the full pathname will be already available when Robert will ask for it ;-)
tell application "System Events" set backGroundPath to (picture of current desktop) # returns an Unix path set backGroundName to name of disk item result end tell
