I never understand posts like this. If the app does it, and you don't want it, don't buy it. Some people may want it. I might want an app that creates fractal imagery and sets a wallpaper for me. I might want to be able to set a wallpaper of a screenshot of an app. In fact I get customers asking for that all the time. Personally I think there are better ways to do what they want and when I tell them they can take a screenshot and set it themselves, they find that a kludge and rightfully so. They want it automatically.
Don't limit the users just because you don't want something. Its not being forced.

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.
