Is there a way to load the user's desktop background and scale it down to use as an image?

I have a particular need to display the user's desktop in a 'thumbnail' type of view but if they've got loads of windows and stuff open, I don't want those. So I figured I might be able to just find out the path to the image and load it somehow?

Thoughts?
