I've been following your question because I will soon be trying to so
something similar. Something, and I forget exactly what now, pointed me
to this
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/DeskPictAppDockMenu/listing3.html
I have downloaded, compiled and run this code and it works just fine.
There only problem is that by default it points to you Pictures
directory and on first run it will try to generate a dock menu listing
all the images it finds in there (including massive iPhoto libraries).
But once it is running you can point it to a smaller folder and
practice changing desktop images. After that it is just a matter of
reading the example code carefully and swiping the bits you need. I was
totally confused by all the AppleEvents code in there, but I think it
should be pretty easy to use the functions they provide.
Good luck and keep me informed of your progress, I might be asking for
your help soon.

Ive been toying around with this for days and i still
cant get it working. Ive tried a number of sample code
and it compiles fine and dosnt give me any errors when
i run it but it dosnt do anything. Here is what i am
trying to do..
From within my application i need to load in
com.apple.desktop.plist and edit the field inside of
Root/Background/**A RANDOM NUMBER**/ImageFIlePath
my bigger problem is i cant seem to get a code sample
to edit anything much less the field i want to use,
the second problem i see comming will be editing a
field within a random number directory. Anyone have
any infomation on how to get this working right? Im
getting ready to start tearing my hair out. Thanks as
always in advance!
