randbg.pl v0.1 Copy the randbg.pl script to your favorite bin directory (/usr/local/bin is usually good). Then just modify your autoexec file so that the script is 'Exec'ed before asetroot runs. The script will scan your asetroot file for background definitions, then randomly assign those definitions to your desktops; voila, random backgrounds every time you start. Check the example files if you have trouble seeing how it should work. Chris Hilton chris@dctank.com
