For a while now, Ubuntu offers the option to set as desktop background a slideshow of wallpapers. It is nice to have such an option integrated into the OS but you can not customize it; or at least there is no obvious method.
Here is the easiest way how to set a custom Desktop slideshow from your own folder of photos:
First open Shotwell.
Then import photos from folder (Ctrl + I)
Select the desired photos or all of them (Ctrl + A)
Set as desktop Slideshow (Ctrl + B)
A popup window will appear that lets you set the amount of time to display each photo.
Press OK to activate.
This is not a permanent method. If you decide to change the wallpaper, the slideshow that you created will disappear and you will have to do it again next time.
