GUI? Well, don't have a desktop environment (gnome, ximian, KDE,
etc.), if that's what you mean, but simply run a window manager
(iceWM). As for XFree86, I'm not sure because I'm sitting at the wrong
machine, but it should be something like 4.2.0-72.

I'm sorry I wasn't clearer in my original question. I don't want a
script that simply creates a slideshow for the background image. I
want to use a constantly changing image as it appears on a web
site. That is, I want to substitute a URL for a background image
file. I don't want to create my own slide show by downloading images,
but use someone else's slide show.
