Anyone know a way to do this on Ubuntu 8.10 ?
Rotating background

Not sure what you mean by rotating, but if you are using compiz, it is possible to get an animated background:

I think I know what Oxidize means. In Windoze ;) there are programs to switch out your background images from a directory so that every time you restart, there is a different desktop wallpaper on display. I do not know of a program to do this in Ubuntu. I'm just a beginner. Hope this helps clarify.
Kubuntu has a setting for wallpaper slide show, I have mine set to change every minute.

wallpaper-tray is what you are looking for. Once installed add this to your Sessions (System>Preferences>Sessions)...
wallpaper-trayDesktop Drapes is there too (in the repos) Hopefully DoctorMo will get his program going for Intrepid, works great with Hardy... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=888746
Perfect, thank you all
Lovin Ubuntu :)
