[mate-bg] cleanup, refactor, plug possible X client leak(s)
Part of the original code (from gnome-desktop) for setting root pixmap seems very
similar to, and may have been adapted from common source:
http://people.debian.org/~lunar/xwpset.c
The original concept all dates back to an Eterm/Esetroot technique that became
commonly used (ex. xchat) for window transparency over desktop:

Wisdom can be gained from studying various similar implementations. Examples:
https://github.com/derf/feh/blob/master/src/wallpaper.c
http://ag.cs.uvic.ca/static/debian5/sources/blackbox_0.70.1/blackbox-0.70.1.orig/util/bsetroot.cc
http://files.minuslab.net/SetBG.cc
The changes should hopefully help avoid this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681928
and consequences as these: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680356
