Desktop Drapes
==============
* **Homepage:** < http: // drapes . mindtouchsoftware . com />
* **Launchpad-Site:** [drapes ](https://launchpad.net/drapes )
* **Package:** [drapes ](apt://drapes )
Has some problems under *Karmic Koala* (e.g. the thumbnails are not shown, crashes if you delete a selected image).
The list of enabled images is kept in `~/.gnome2/drapes.xml` .

=====
* **Homepage:** < http: // www . becrux . com / index . php ? page = projects&name=wally >
Seems to not work in *Karmic* .
Wallpaper Tray
==============
* **Homepage:** < http: // freshmeat . net / projects / wp_tray />
* **Package:** [wallpaper-tray ](apt://wallpaper-tray )
It is a panel applet which shows a small thumbnail of the current active image. It will show images from your selected
directories (in the preferences) **plus** all images in `~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml` (see [#355081 ](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wallpaper-tray/+bug/355081 )).

Seems relatively stable and is my preferred choice among these 3.
