I am unable to switch my desktop background in e17 using either emblem via the elpanel or using the configuration panel. These files are .edj that are located ~/.e/e/backgrounds.

This might be due to an incompatible e17 version and background .edj. The only way this would be fixed is upgrading to a newer version of e17.
This bug should probably be closed.
e17 code has changed, if you use recent backgrounds from get-e.org, not works... try edje_recc yourbackground.edj
As mentioned above this problem is due to the fact that e17 is under heavy development. The backgrounds on get-e.org are compatible with the most recent e17. The default e17 on elive is a bit older.
This method is known to work on at least some of the background files.
edje_decc foo.edj
cd into the resulting directory. Open the .edc file in your favorite text editor. Now in this file find the following line.
group { name: “e/desktop/background”;
change it to this:
group { name: “desktop/background”;
(Im not sure if there would ever be more than one line, but if so, then change them all.)
Save the file and close it. Now run the build script.
./build.sh
Place the resulting .edj file in ~/.e/e/backgrounds/ and you should be good to go.
