This bash script picks up a random image file (.jpg, .jpeg or .png) from the predefined directory and sets it as wallpaper.

The previous version of the script worked fine with GNOME 2 and Ubuntu 11.04 (and earlier), but after GConf backend was changed to dconf in GNOME 3, it stopped working.

The new version works with both GNOME 3 and Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot.

The only thing to setup in the below script is the path to image files in dir_wallpapers.

You can download the latest version on script page on my website. ■
