Useful script to generate and change you Ubuntu wallpaper using wallpaperfm:

NOTE: this asumes you have wallpaper fm on ~/bin/wallpaperfm and generates a collage wallpaper using last 3 months. Change accordingly to your needs.

#!/bin/sh
cd ~/bin/wallpaperfm
./wallpaperfm.py -u YOUR_LASTFM_USERNAME -i 1280×720 -m collage -t 3month
gconftool -t string -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename ~/bin/wallpaperfm/YOUR_LASTFM_USERNAME.jpg

you can create a crontab for this and have a new wallpaper each hour :)
