  //refreshing of the background image. Apparently these window managers are trying to be "smart" and 
  //avoid refreshing when the image has not changed, but in our case we are changing the image content,
  //just not the image filename. Alas a simple fix to this problem is to alternate using spaces and 
  //underscores in the image filename and removing the old image. Another option might be to first set the 
  //background image to null, but this might result in unwanted flicker so we use the slightly more
