I used gconf-editor to change the value of key:
    /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename
to:
    /home/user/images/saturn.jpg

Subsequently, the command "fgrep -ir saturn.jpg ." reveals:

--------------------------------
./.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml:                <stringvalue>/home/user/images/saturn.jpg</stringvalue>
./.gnome2/backgrounds.xml:    <name>saturn.jpg</name>
./.gnome2/backgrounds.xml:    <filename>/home/user/images/saturn.jpg</filename>
Binary file ./.thumbnails/normal/4b3f4943d5963a4a59c013f795a6604a.png matches
--------------------------------

I'd guess that:

1.  File .gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml
    contains the actual definition
2.  File .gnome2/backgrounds.xml
    is the list of available backgrounds displayed from
	right-click on desktop/Change Desktop Background/Desktop Wallpaper
3.  File ./.thumbnails/normal/4b3f4943d5963a4a59c013f795a6604a.png
    is the thumbnail displayed with the list of available backgrounds.

Also in file .gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml it looks like
you'll find other options you may want to set like "picture_options".
