Different capplets should be produced, so for instance when you
are running an non-supported wm, and selection background it will run 
background-capplet-standard, and if you are running enlightenment
the control-center will run background-capplet-enlightenment, etc.

icewm - background-capplet-icewm
windowmaker - background-capplet-wmaker             
etc...

All the capplets just have to look very alike.


Maybe capplets for the different windowmanagers should be
distrubuted seperately?
