Bug Description
Every time Variety is run, it waits the full change period before changing the wallpaper. If the change interval is big (e.g. 1 day) and Variety is not running all the time, it may happen to never actually change the wallpaper. On wallpaper change the time should be persisted, and it should be read on start and taken into account when computing the initial wait interval.

Fixed this way: We persist the change times, but take the persisted time into account only when the change interval is long (>= 6 hours). Thus if the user changes the wallpaper rarely, they will still have it changed regularly even if Variety does not run all the time, or the PC is restarted, etc. If the user changes often (e.g. every minute), after they stop Variety and run it again after some time, they won't have the wallpaper change immediately, Variety will wait the full 1 minute before changing it. This is to avoid the impression that Variety always changes the wallpaper on start when users are using a short change interval.
