Wallpapers etc for Ubuntu
 

Is there something like Webshots for Ubuntu? I got really p*ssed off with Vista and am hoping Linux/Ubuntu can do the job but I really miss my photos that I was able to cycle through as wallpaper with Webshots. I know you can select different themes as wallpaper but it's not the same as randomly scrolling through my happy holiday snaps - any suggestions?

These notes from an ubuntu 8.04 system may help.

Alternatively (for step 5) create “~/.config/autostart/wallpaper-tray.desktop” with following content (first line is empty)
