How do I change the desktop background from command line?

Is it possible to set the desktop wallpaper in ubuntu 11.04 via a terminal command? I've been searching for about two hours but didn't find anything related to this. In Ubuntu 10.04 I did it with 

gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename

but it doesn't work with 11.04.

The first one is this one here ;) the second one doesn't work, the key is set correct, but it doesn't has any effect on the background. when i change the wallpaper in the appearence tool, the key isn't changed is there a way to see which keys are changed by an application?

Edit: Oh, it was my fault. I ran the commands as root, not as normal user. Sry for the trouble.

"gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename --type string" still works
