I spent some time and tried various things but nothing works.
Here's what I have tried so far (changing the slideshow manually):
- Making a new folder /usr/share/backgrounds/mywallpapers and add my
own background-1.xml in there. - Copying a bunch of my own wallpaper files into
/usr/share/backgrounds/ - Copy /usr/share/backgrounds/Contest/background-1.xml to
/usr/share/backgrounds/
I logged out and in and still no changes in Appearance app.
I have heard about Wallch but I don't want some app running in the background all the time. I'm not even sure Wallch will work with Gnome 3.
I also tried gnome-3-wp (Gnome 3 Wallpaper Slideshow app) but it just seems broken for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric.
Anyone has a solution?

I think I'm late but...
I created an xml background (with full paths descriptions), and I've saved it at /usr/share/backgrounds/my-background.xml
then I edited /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ubuntu-wallpapers.xml adding
just saves the file and the new slideshow wallpaper is shown in appearences window
hope it works for you :D
