I have now pushed the new library wallpaper.el and changed thumbs.el and
image-dired.el to use it.  It has the new command `wallpaper-set', and
the user option `wallpaper-commands' to control it.

I don't expect it to not work on anything but GNU/Linux for now, but
patches and suggestions are obviously very welcome.  (I hope that it
will be easy to add checks for different environments by adding new
`cl-defgeneric's.)

Thanks to Tassilo Horn for useful pointers in the previous discussion on
how to handle Sway/Wayland and Gnome.
