Description Puspam Adak 2020-08-27 09:53:17 UTC
SUMMARY
When an image slideshow wallpaper is set using the default slideshow feature, the desktop glitches heavily during the transition between two images. Sometimes the desktop even freezes for about 5 seconds.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set an image slideshow as the desktop wallpaper from the "Configure desktop" menu.
2. Watch the extremely slow desktop!

OBSERVED RESULT
Everything in the desktop glitches or even freezes during the transition.

EXPECTED RESULT
The slideshow should have been smooth without affecting the other desktop components.

Can you describe your computer a bit? CPU/RAM/storage medium/graphics hardware?
