1. Install feh if it's not already installed on your system.
2. If it is already installed, REMOVE the .fehbg file from your home folder.
3. Download the wallpaper-changer script from here on Sourceforge.

SEE NOTE BELOW THESE BASIC INSTRUCTIONS!!!

4. Move it to /usr/local/bin/ and give it the correct permissions so that anyone can execute it.
5. Add /usr/local/bin/wallpaper-changer to your window manager's autostart file.
6. Reboot.

NOTE: The wallpaper-changer script is set to change wallpapers every 10 minutes by default. It also is set to read the following folder...
/usr/share/wallpapers/*

TO CHANGE HOW OFTEN THE SCRIPT CHANGES WALLPAPERS... 

you will need to adjust the time in the script. The script changes the wallpapers in a time increment of seconds. Therefore, if you want to change the time increment, you will need to change each instance of the number 600 (which is 10 minutes) to your desired time. Such as, if you wanted it to change every 30 minutes, you would use this formula...
60 x 30 = 1800
60 seconds x 30 minutes = 1800 seconds (or 30 minutes)
...so, in the script, you would change the number 600 to 1800.

If you wanted it to change every 2 hours, you would use this formula...
60 x 60 x 2 = 7200
60 seconds x 60 minutes x 2 hours = 7200 seconds (or 2 hours).
...so, in the script, you would change the number 600 to 7200.

CHANGE THE FOLDER THAT THE SCRIPT READS TO YOUR DESIRED FOLDER...

The script is set to read /usr/share/wallpapers/* by default. If your collection of wallpapers is in a different location, you will need to edit the script, and change the PATH to your folder in the script. Such as, if your wallpapers are in your Home's Picture folder, you would need to change each instance of /usr/share/wallpapers/* to...

~/Pictures/*
