Title:
  Use the CTRL / SHIFT keys to do a wallpaper slideshow

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  Gnome-appearance-properties obviously can perform beautiful wallpaper
  slideshows, but it's hard for the user to take advantage of that nice
  feature, often having to resort to third-party solutions
  (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/crebs-slideshow-generator-gets-
  new-features-but-requires-a-little-something-in-return%E2%80%A6/).

  It would be easy and convenient to let the user press the shift or
  ctrl keys in order to select several background images, which would
  then be presented in a slideshow. Additionally, an extra button could
  be used to let him / her save the selection as a slideshow.
