Larry Jordan proposed the following answer:
Interesting; Fedora Core 2 had a built-in background changer. Guess
Ubuntu still needs to get one.
But in answer to your question:
Open a terminal and type "ps aux". This will list ALL processes running
on your Linux system. (If you are sure of the name, you can pipe it with "ps
aux | grep Wallpaper" and only the Wallpaper Tray process will come up.) When
you have found the Wallpaper Tray, there is a number (usually 4 digit) in the
second column. This is a process number. Type
"kill -9 ####" where #### is the process number. (Some people prefer "killall
Wallpaper" which will stop any process called Wallpaper - that's fine as long
as you have the name correct.)
Then see if the program has better instructions on how to remove it or set
it up - it'll probably start again automatically next time you log in if you
don't remove it.
