That's crazy. A desktop is an app that is run to do a task, the AES
can't just arbitrarily over-ride that task. By that logic every window
I open would be hidden behind a vile yellow background.

The AES is there to provide services for applications hence it's name
Application Environment Services. So it should provide an ability to
display an image but is should be an application that displays the
background image not the AES.
