It looks like you could use habak ("debian hilda habak" in your chrontab

) to do the same thing as hsetroot, but it also can superimpose text over the image.

Note that habak doesn't seem to have any way to adjust brightness of the image, so you will have to set the hildon-desktop transparency to 100% or the images will appear dark.
