This is a script to pick random background pictures for GNOME 2. I've modified the original version to make it more versatile, and given it session management. This means that the script automatically starts and stops when you log in and out of GNOME.
You can download my modified version or read its manual.
Updated 2004-09-14 to version 0.3.1 to work nicely with Gnome 2.6. It seems it had been broken for a while, but no-one let me know. Bug reports are welcome, so please email me if you have any problems.

Jono Bacon appealed for a contribution to his new O'Reilly book, Linux Desktop Hacks, on the subject of chbg-gnome2. It turns out he had more replies than he was expecting, and mine wasn't needed. Anyway, here's my article.
