Actually, it is possible to change all kde settings with kwriteconfig
command tool; f.i.
kwriteconfig --file plasma-desktop-appletsrc --group Containments
--group # --group Wallpaper --group image --key wallpaper --type
string /path/to/file/image
As Nicolas stated, plasma has more containments and you need to get
the correct group number and replace # in the command above.
