Set your environment using the excellent linked Q&A

• Install compiz: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
• Remove your desktop icons: gconftool-2 --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop" --type=boolean "true"

Your wallpapers are defined in the key:

gconftool-2 --get "/apps/compiz/plugins/wallpaper/screen0/options/bg_image"

It takes a comma separated list thus you can set the value using this as an example:

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/compiz/plugins/wallpaper/screen0/options/bg_image" --type=string "[/usr/share/backgrounds/BosqueTK.jpg,/usr/share/backgrounds/BusquedaNocturna.jpg]"
