I hope this feature is not supported.  The last thing I want is some application changing my desktop background which is my choice, not one of the application.  Yes, I know this can be done with some kind of dialog for approval but then that really stresses the logic of why you would want to do this -- OS X already provides a way for me to set my background, I don't need to buy or use an app to do that.

I vote no -- don't do it.
