ok found 2 solutions :

 

http://fluxbox.org/fbdesk/

 

http://idesk.sourceforge.net/about.html

 

had to goto another linux distro site to find them. Hope that helps other people

 

:banana:

 

fbdesk is in the contrib repository in Mandrake 10.1 - you can find it in "Install Software" - search for fbdesk - or just urpmi fbdesk from the command line.

 

version number is 1.1.5-2mdk

 

must give a try myself, as i love the lightweightedness of fluxbox, but i also just wanted a few icons on the desktop for quick and easy access to the stuff i use everyday at work.

If you want to have a random wallpaper every 10 minutes execute the command crontab -e and then add a line like this:

 

*/10 * * * * /full/path/to/fbsetbg -R /path/to/your/wallpaperdirectory

 

trouble is , it doesnt appear to work. i can run it from the command line ok. do i need to set something else?
