I tried: your suggestion works fine. Only two point:
1) am I forced to use png? I have lots of jpgs, so I should convert them.
Ok, it is simple and quick, but it is somewhat a waste of space to have
two copies of hundreds of pictures...
2) Your suggestion has the effect that the background gets changed every
hour _since_ I fire up fvwm: what if I want the effect only exactly at the
hour (3:00, 4:00, 5:00, and so on...)?
Thank you
Fabio
