It's very possible. I'm sorry I'm not sitting at my Xfce box right now, but
I think you go into the wallpaper setting and select something about making
a list. Then you navigate to the images and well, make a list with them and
when you log in, a different picture will display.
I think you can also create a cron job to re-run xfdesktop4 and that will
change the image while you're using it.
Again, apologies for not being more exact but I'm not at home right now.

I can tell you it is possible.
