I'm looking for an app that will change my Ubuntu (Karmic) desktop image periodically, with images from Flickr.

E.g. I'd like it to automatically flick through the photos here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/metservice-nz/) every hour or so.

Any advice?  Does this exist yet?

A quick search for "ubuntu desktop background image flickr changer": http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-set-flickr-images-as-ubuntu-desktop-wallpape... http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-wallpaper-changer-apps-for-linux/ Webuilder seems to be closest to what you want. Only downside, you need to trigger the download of the images manually. NB: haven't used any of these tools myself.
