How about ROX? With the exception of the randomizer, the ROX pinboard has almost all the features you mentioned. To change the background image you right-click the desktop, choose an option, and a "set background" window appears. Then you can simply drag and drop an image from ROX's own file manager to it. The manager also has thumbnail preview and you can associate any of the aforementioned programs (I use display from ImageMagick) to see the image at full size when you "open" it. For me it was probably the nicest experience concerning background images. -- Ciprian Popovici -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
