Hello I have been experimenting with using a random background image and I
found a command that will do it. Unfortunatly it doesn't work in my
.fvwm2rc file. I was wondering if you could offer any helpful suggestions.
This is the command as it is used in my InitFunction:

+ "I" exec xv -root -max -quit bgpictures/bg$[RANDOM % 3 +1].jpg

Now it is supposed to pick between 3 jpg files each named bg1.jpg bg2.jpg
and bg3.jpg in the bgpictures directory. It works if I use this command in
my .bashrc file but not the .fvwm2rc file. I am certain it is because
fvwm doesn't recognize the $[RANDOM % 3 + 1] part but I would like to
know if their is a way I can get it to recognize it. If anyone can help me
that would be great.
