I have a widescreen (1920x1200). Using flickr I've tried the tag : wallpaper,1920x1200.
webilder founds the photos containing theses tags but downloads the one with the smaller resolution. And pictures of 800x600 are too ugly on 1920x1200.

For the install script to work I had to install python-gnome-1.2 and python-gnome2-extras packages.
The program itself still does not work, in konsole I got the following error message:
ImportError: No module named PIL

gnomevfs = None
In the next version, I'll add proper detection for this case.
Is it possible that your home directory is located on a remote machine and mounted via NFS or Samba?
If not, please send me more information about your system: distribution, and versions of the packages gnome-python and gnome-python-extras.

Why? I don't know. Doesn't matter.
Nice piece of software. Can't "Browse Collection" from the right click menu though. Everything else seems to work fine, so far.
Wish Flickr had better pictures. I'm getting quite a bunch of personal pictures of people and many of the supposedly "interesting" photos are, imho, quite uninteresting.
Is there any way I could change the source of the pictures being downloaded? Deviant art, for instance, or even kde-look wallpapers.
Thanks for a nifty tool.

I'll add more sources for wallpapers in the upcoming versions. DeviantArt, kde-look/wallpapers and gnome-look/wallpapers are in top priority.
