Hello Artem,
I guess that there is nothing like a cron-like thing for userspace
applications available on Sailfish, so better write your daemon.
Changing wallpaper with gconf do not change the ambiance, and that would be a
pity to have an ambiance not matching the wallpaper honestly.
And about the app store thing, the best is to wait I guess. The information
will be revealed at some point (quickly I hope).
Cheers,
Lucien
