Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm still having a bit of a problem with this, though.

I did that, and it pops up during startup, but then it gets overwritten with
a color fill.

I want to use a whole directory, that gets update fairly often, so I don't
_think_ is the appropriate answer. Am I wrong?
I've added the script under Appearance nd Themes -> background -> advanced.
This causes a 2n'd random image to appear during startup (yes I will remove
it from Autostart), but it _still_ gets overwritten by a color fill. I've
tries all 3 choices of select buttons (picture, no picture, and slide
show0, but at the end of the desktop startup I still get a color fill that
overrides the images.
What am I doing wrong?
