Hm...

You don't seem to be too used to xterm (I wasn't either a few years ago ^^)...

Code:
Nokia-N900-02-8:~# cd /usr/share/themes/d-style underconstruction/backgrounds
cd can't cd there as there is a space and you'd need to 'escape' that (curious why anybody didn't pay attention there) so the command would look like
Code:
cd /usr/share/themes/d-style\ underconstruction/backgrounds
The "\" is the escape character which is needed in certain situations like spaces or if the filename has something out of the ASCII-range afair.

So, now I'll simplify the second commands posted
Code:
root
cd /usr/share/themes/Used theme name (ls for a list)/backgrounds
cp wallpaper1.png /media/mmc1
cd /media/mmc1
mv wallpaper1.png lockslider.png
mv lockslider.png /usr/share/themes/Used theme name/backgrounds
Why not make it like:
Code:
root
cd /usr/share/themes/
ls -a
cd $THEME/backgrounds
mv lockslider.png lockslider.png.orig
cp wallpaper1.png lockslider.png
That's it, no copying to the micoSD and no long typing... Also, you will keep a backup of the original lockslider.png

Now a lil to what was meant with ls...
ls is a command to list the contents of a folder. By using ls you see the contents and by $THEME I mean the name of the theme's folder. That can be "d-style underconstruction" or anything similiar. So that's where you gotta look and then replace $THEME with the actual name of that folder. In my case, I use the Array Theme, i would enter there
Code:
keysat:/opt/usr/share/themes$ ls -a
.                   Default             MurrinaNightOrange  alpha               beta
..                  Emacs               Raleigh             array               default
keysat:/opt/usr/share/themes$ cd array/backgrounds
keysat:/opt/usr/share/themes/array/backgrounds$
Hopefully that helps in the future...

Just a small note though. That will use the first workspace's picture as background. As I don't use that theme I can't tell you whether that looks good or not.
