Public bug reported: I am using a slideshow of tiled background images from Propaganda as my desktop background. I have selected a directory of these images using Desktop Settings dialog. My problem is that whenever a background changes, my desktop slows to crawl for several seconds. I actually have time to launch top during background change only to see Xorg process happily eating away my processor cycles.
