It works, but works wrong with my setup.
Now it remembers desktop image at startup time and draws it as background.
But conky draws current time and uptime on my root window every second and
this changes are not represented in frame backgrounds. Additionally my wallpaper
randomly changes every 10 minutes by script, but clfswm draws picture
it remembered
at startup time.
