So, TWO YEARS! have passed.
I am now on Mint 19 Cinnamon 3.89 Kernel 4.15.0-43-generic same graphics.

The bug is still alive and well.

If you shut your rig down overnight, resetting the delay back to zero, you get through the next day almost not noticing it. Setting the change interval to longer also helps.
Surely though, this is not the point!! As Wojtek says - it is nice to see the pictures change!

I leave my m/c on continuously (it's like the cats - it hibernates at night) because the boot cycle is not always successful and I want to see frequent picture changes.

The header for this says "This bug affects you and 8 other people". So I suppose it gets no priority at all. Maybe most people stick with the same, unchanging, background?

The Mint/Cinnamon package is amazing but please can someone fix this?
