Looking at the Windows wallpaper changer way down the archives, scripting a wallpaper change in KDE is quite simple in comparison:

dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper /path/to/file 7

The integer after the file path is the tiling mode, and mapped one-to-one to the choices in the KDE wallpaper selection dialog, meaning that the following options are available:

1. Centered
2. Tiled
3. Centered Tiled
4. Centered Maxpect
5. Maxpect Tiled
6. Scaled
7. Centered Autofit
8. Scale & Crop
