Indeed - I like this a lot.
This is an excellent approach if the files to be edited have a unique and easily found
insertion point and it is safe to stuff in the change.

NAME
awsetbg - awesome wrapper tool to set background
SYNOPSIS
awsetbg [-fctaFCTA wallpaper] [-uU wallpapersetter] [-m #] [-bB fbsetrootoptions ...] [-rR path] [-l]
DESCRIPTION
awsetbg is a wrapper that tries to find a suitable background setting application and then tries to set the wallpaper using that
application. You do not have to configure awsetbg, since it just uses the first application it finds.
Furthermore, it remembers the last wallpaper set, so you do not have to edit anything to change the wallpaper.
OPTIONS
-f file
Set fullscreen wallpaper.
-c file
Set centered wallpaper.
-t file
Set tiled wallpaper.
-a file
Set maximized wallpaper, preserving the aspect ratio. If the application chosen does not support this option, fullscreen is used as
fall back.
-u wallpapersetter
Use the specified wallpaper setter tool.
-r directory
Set a random wallpaper from this directory.
-F, -C, -T, -A, -U, -R
Same as the lowercase options, but without remembering.
-l
Set the previous wallpaper. If the random feature was the last used, it will set another random wallpaper from this same directory.
-i
Display useful information about the best application to set the wallpaper found.
-m #
Use montage to create a big image (image should fit screen size). Requires montage(1). # is the number of screens (columns in montage).
-p
Display useful tips.
-h
Display help message.
FILES
$XDG_CACHE_HOME/awesome/lastwallpaper or $HOME/.cache/awesome/lastwallpaper files contains the last wallpaper set to use with the -l
option.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
wpsetters
Wallpaper setters to use.
DISPLAY
Display you want to set the wallpaper on.
