[rox-users] ROX-Filer 2.0.0 patch to add SOAP-RPC for setting backdrop

[Matthew W. O. <wei...@gr...>]

I've finished creating a patch that adds a SOAP-RPC call for setting the
backdrop directly. You can find it on the ROX sourceforge patch tracker
at:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=752609&group_id=7023&atid=307023

There are instructions there for using it, but in a nutshell, you can
form your XML now with the following:

    <SetBackdrop>
        <File>/path/to/image</File>
        <Style>(Centre|Tile|Scale|Stretch)</Style>
    </SetBackdrop>

and rox will attempt to set the backdrop. I have also created a Backdrop
AppDir (using perl) that demonstrates one use for it; you can grab it

Enjoy; any comments, positive or negative, appreciated.
