Thanks Hartmut. Yes, I'd got that far, but doing as you suggest just
seems to pick a random picture each time the desktop is started. Pat
wants them to change randomly every few minutes. That's what appears
to be missing in XFCE. I'll take a look in the folder you say and see
whether there's anything there which suggests I can chance the current
picture programmatically.
