This is great! GL-slideshow runs on all my machines; I’ll switch them all to gnome-screensaver as quickly as I can rebuild

http://tieguy.org/pics/Australia2005/dsc01606 is my suggestion for forests; I’m looking for a good beach picture, but can’t seem to find any that are relaxing

did you check in wikipedia? AFAIK almost all of their images are public domain or GFDL

Not sure if any those satisfy the "relaxing" condition, but here goes, some pictures made in egypt:

http://tieguy.org/pics/album02/img_22 (forest, but in fall, so might not fit in with a ‘green’ forest theme)

Still can’t find decent beach pics… I think maybe my ‘growing up in miami’ means I think beaches are boring and so I haven’t taken any decent pictures

Also, the HEAD code doesn’t seem to work for me- I hardcoded my pictures directory but it doesn’t seem to find any of the pictures in it. Realistically, BTW, this will probably need to be a gconf setting- too many people picking too many different places, you can maybe guess at a few and pop up a question if it isn’t in one of the guessed places, but that’ll still only catcha small number- and I guess it’ll have a lot of false positives too. :/

Hi Rodrigo,

All the photos available in http://www.panoramio.com/ in Algeria are from my wife, so you can take anyone you like.

I hope to see you at the next Guadec!
Bye!

If you make the screensaver to support fetching image lists via Pheed RSS feeds, it would be very easy to modify the photo listings and to subscribe third-party feeds.

http://www.pheed.com/pheed/

For example, Midgard CMS supports pheed by default for all image galleries so you can subscribe feeds like
http://www.routamc.org/gallery/black-sea-2004/rss.xml and
