I think I found a bug in mateconftool-2, I created a BASH script that
changes the desktop background every 10 seconds but a side effect is
that occasionaly the theme's colors revert to another, I think it
reverts to roots but I'm not sure, I do know it reverts to something
other than the color scheme I use, it also increases the chance of the
infinite file manager spawn and disappearing clock bug occurring and the
suggestion in the MATE wiki to stop it doesn't help period.
here's the code for my bash script:
#!/bin/bash
# Script to randomly set Background from files in a directory
while true ;do
sleep 10
# Directory Containing Pictures
DIR="/mnt/win7/wp"
# Command to Select a random jpg file from directory
# Delete the *.jpg to select any file but it may return a folder
PIC=$(ls $DIR/* | shuf -n1)
# Command to set Background Image
mateconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/mate/background/picture_filename $PIC
done
