There is a simple way that should be non-OS-specific except
for the pathnames: at shutdown, run a script which moves
the existing desktop picture and renames it, then move a
different file in and rename it to what the name of the
previous one was. This gives you a different desktop pic
each start-up (if that's what you're shooting for).
Unfortunately, I have yet to figure out a way to force the
screen to update the pic when the file changes without
restarting via applescript...
Or, you could theoretically buy 10.2, which claims to have
this capability natively, if I understood what Steve Jobs
was saying during his keynote address. He said something
about a revised version of desktop pics. See his keynote
address in QT6 at www.apple.com
