If I recall correctly, there are already a couple of programs out there
that can display a continuously changing wallpaper reflecting the daytime
(sun moon etc) out there making use of a simple timer script and xsetroot.
And KDE even has similar functionality built in already. Of course
xsetroot won't really work for E17, so it's still a good idea. I'm
thinking more of a generally programmable/customizable background manager
that can do much more than just rotate between a bunch of static pictures,
but actually do some animation, dynamic content etc. (this sounds like
some feature expansion for ebg).
