Borrowed a GNOME tip from a dwm tips page [1]. Thanks to ohmega.
Also some minor tidying of the html.

- <p><strong>Background image</strong> — Setting the background
- image for the Nautilus-drawn desktop also sets the background for
- xmonad's workspaces which are drawn independently from Nautilus.

- the command:</p>
