transparent aterms to be exact.  Esetroot is what I use for displaying
the wallpapers and aterm picks it up for the transparancy.   
My wallpaper changes every minute via a rather complex script I wrote
that basicaly gives me a wallpaper damon like you would find on a more
bloated GUI like KDE but with bbkeys I have set up the script so that
I have 'safe' and 'unsafe' wallpapers that I can flip between with a
quick F11 or Shift+F11.  Lots of fun. 

Total safe wallpapers: 143
Total unsafe wallpapers: 122

My autopr0n.sh hits alt.binaries.pictures.wallpaper amongst other
groups so the hits keep coming.  

I think I have automated just about everything I can on this system.
I just love the idea of leaving the house and going to a club and then
coming home to a pile of fresh pics, mpgs, mp3s, websites diffed via
cron and emailed to me, &c.  The power of *nix
