Description
A cool feature will be can enable in the config panels of wallpapers an options like " Change my wallpapers all the x minutes "

nice feature to have, but sounds more like an add-on than a must have.

I vaguely recall having seen this, or something very similar, suggested a few times in the last few weeks.

IIRC, it is also a standard feature in KDE. :-\

wallpaper-tray do that, but default change is not a good idea.

Yes, with composite (Compiz) fade effects.
So it transform background 1 into background 2. Smoothly.

You can easily make your own shell script to do that, there's a command line for updating the background.

gconftool -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "~/image/1.png"

There is a program in universe called "drapes" that does this.
