I decided to make this my project for today :)

I have a basic working solution, it's far from perfect, but I think it can be
improved, you may find this solution funny :)

Basically I have a RootTransparent pager, then update the wallpaper
behind it! I use FvwmBacker to take new shots, so it's updated when you
change pages...there is probably a better way.

Here is what I have so far, any suggestions welcome :)

I start the screenshots with Next (FvwmPager, CirculateHit) InitScreenShotPager
