Hi,

when I am not using Qubes I like using a wallpaper-changer like variety
(http://peterlevi.com/variety/).
What would be the best way to use something like that in Qubes?
When I think about it, the best way would be to copy interesting
wallpapers into the dom0 and then run a shell-script with a
cronjob/systemd-timer to change it automatically.

Any other ideas? Or do you see problems with that approach?

You probably don't need to bother with cronjobs etc. If you have pix (that you trust) you can put them in dom0 then use "Desktop" (System tools > Desktop) in XFCE and it has an option to "change background" and gives interval options (min/hours/chon/etc) and supports multiple monitors as well (so you could have 2 diff wallpapers on two different monitors at the same time).
