The interface for setting the background doesn't let you browse to a hidden file. That's what makes it so awkward. It doesn't seem to track the name changing of the image file either.
@ J3K4 - You don't need to use terminal to do it. There are free apps that let you hide files with a single click. Show & Hid or Hide Folders are a few. I use a program called File Buddy.

Windows can do that in less than 5 clicks without opening terminal crap
Fantastic, thanks for the tip!
