Gnome 3: Using Flickr as background source


I installed GNOME 3 in my openSUSE 11.4 install and noticed that in the background settings there's a drop down list to select different sources of backgrounds. One of the options is Flickr. Selecting it does... nothing at all as far I've been able to determine. There's no configuration options or anything. Anyone know how to make it get backgrounds from Flickr?

Trying to find something on this via Google has been futile, all I get are lots of hits for the phrase "ability to use Flickr images as desktop backgrounds".

I haven't seen Gnome 3 yet. But there is an application which I know installs on Ubuntu which uses Gnome 2 that can display any images you load into it from flickr, webshots or anywhere. In addition it can display a calendar, title of pic and random quote. You might like it.
