Document how to use system prefs to manage wallpapers #47

Document how to use OS X to do the wallpaper management via the System prefs.

I'm opting for this solution vs. programmatically setting desktops. I think this gives the user more control anyway.

Just now realizing that the OS solution will not update the desktop with the latest pano image.

I'm thinking I can run a JXA (formerly AppleScript) solution to set desktops from node.

SMH at apple. I've tried numerous solutions and they all have the same limitation. You have to be on the desktop in order for it to change.

Seriously lame.

Maybe the rule will be, run the script on desktop you want it to appear on; one could set random image on one desktop and a specific image on another desktop? This is turning into a waste of a Sunday.
