Here's what I'm using at work:

Weakling! Real Men (TM) (as well as Real Women (TM)) write their own shellscripts to do these things.

(1) Create plaintext file with possible filnames (full path), store in /the/file/you/created
(2) Create the following shellscript:

#!/bin/bash
ln -s `shuf /the/file/you/created | head -n1` /your/home/directory/desktop.png

(3) Make it executable, and put it in /etc/cron.daily
(4) Done! Run the script once, and set your desktop to /your/home/directory/desktop.png

I didn't get it to work for some reason.
At step 1 what am I supposed to do exactly? Create a file with the fullpath of the wallpapers I want?

Exactly. Just open a text editor, and enter the complete path to different wallpapers, like this

/home/commonjoe/desktop1.png
/home/commonjoe/desktop2.png
/home/commonjoe/desktop3.png

They need to be png, but that shouldn't be a problem. If they're not, run

convert goodbye.jpg hello.png

where goodbye is the file you want to convert to png, and hello is the name of the new file

[Aizmov]

I figured out why it wasn't working after running it in the terminal.
For some reason, I don't have the shuf command.

[wizz-o-matic]

Gah, I'm already tired of random desktops ^_^;;;

Weird, it's part of GNU coreutils. Ought to be part of any sane GNU/Linux system.

She looks like a man.

[teed]

She looks like a man.

I told him not to put his Canadian mother's pics as his wallpaper. It's embarrassing. But he NEVER listens to me. That jerk.

 

Mother complex. -__-

[Demented_Demon]

Here's My Desktop =)
Yay for Vista?

[Aizmov]

I've checked the package manager and I do have the GNU coreutils installed. Yet, bash doesn't recognize shuf.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Regardless, I've found this and I've used his shuffle, it gets the job done quite nicely

[Souhi]

The Noah family this time.

[aishiteru333]

[mikadzuki]

Haha! New wallpaper! Fits my desktop color scheme perfectly! >_<

[Myrra]

After a very long delay...I finally changed it.
I love this series.
