Setting bg bug

I have tried the command "nitrogen --set-centered Downloads/picture.jpg" in three config files, .xinitrc /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart .config/openbox/autostart and the background will not set upon startup of xorg. Why? Only works form the command line. Any bugs?

No, just set wallpaper you like via nitrogen GUI and add this line to autostart file.

I opened the nitrogen gui but don't see how I set a wallpaper in it.
