Hope that helps other people <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

kde-head Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 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?
