Nice hack, that took me a few hours, but was a nice break from learning some algorithms for my studies.
Thought, that someone may be in need of such thing. If yes, then let me know, I'll send source, or something :) Of course, code review or feature review would be nice too. > My goal is to have a simple tool for my wife to use for selecting the > background image.

It does not have random image, but well, can't have everything, it's just a broweser :) Still, setting a pic as a wallpaper is available as a right-click menu option. Quite convenient way. Of course it supports thumbnails, and is very easy to use. I recommend this one.
