It is minimal but does the trick of randomly rotating backgrounds.
Features to add are only rotate during work hours, making sure that all
images are shown within a day and a nice GUI.
Criticism welcome.

To help me learn Haskell, I decided on a simple (AH!) problem: given a
list of images, display a random one as my desktop backdrop. After some
time, change the image. Simple?
What I actually want to do is a little more specific: Read a list of
images (one per line) from a file. Given that a

Rather than golfing your questions (which seems popular), I'll try to
give you some concrete answers.
First off, I agree with Bulat that this is probably too large of a
first project; doing it in pieces seems like it would be a lot
simpler. In particular if the file changes, ... isn't a
