I am not certain whether this bug should be reported at Thunar or Xfdesktop.


#1 Xfdesktop
   ---------
When selecting "Set as wallpaper", create a shortcut at ~/.local/share/xfce4/backdrops/ZenWalk.jpg


#2 Xfdesktop
   ---------
Revoke the current "Set as wallpaper" entry and replace it with an action at xfce-backdrop-settings.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Desktop 
[...]

[Desktop Action Background]
Exec=xfdesktop-settings -? %f

* MimeType should be applied only to the action entry, not to the 'Open With ""' section.


#3 Xfdesktop
   ---------
Make an argument to set background with command line with xfdesktop-settings for suggestion #2.

Number # 3 is obsolete.

Thank you to Buzz and Sergio for the xconf-query hint.

[Desktop Action Background]
Exec=xconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p %f -s mode
MimeType=image/bmp; [...] ;image/vnd.wap.wbmp;

* I do not know which mode is being used by the "Set as wallpaper" entry.

Moving to thunar wallpaper plugin which handles the "set as wallpaper" option.
