Now I can't set a desktop wallpaper. I tried feh, and it almost works--I have a slightly transparent terminal, and I can see the new wallpaper through that, but I can't see it anywhere else. Any suggestions at all would be much appreciated!!

If so, I expect everything's working properly. i3 is not a compositing window manager, doesn't do transparency; your terminal app has transparency support built into it. Many people use the 'compton' compositor along with i3.Fri, 10 Apr 2015 19:08:05 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5768/feh-wont-work-in-xubuntu/?comment=5769#comment-5769
