Hello there!
I agree that this isn't a bug, but I won't hesitate to post a comment so as to let you know: I've released a testing PPA (quite stable though) with some new features, which also solves the problems you had.
You can find it here:
https://launchpad.net/~wallch/+archive/3+

Specifically, current latest versions of this ppa are:
32-bit:
https://launchpad.net/~wallch/+archive/3+/+files/wallch_3.52-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
64-bit:
https://launchpad.net/~wallch/+archive/3+/+files/wallch_3.52-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

You can add this ppa, so as to receive updates from it as well, as following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wallch/3+
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wallch

I repeat that these are testing versions of Wallch that fix some bugs and have some new features, but it is logical to have some bugs. Please, if you find any, report it at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wallpaper-changer/+filebug

Thanks a lot!

Hello Henry, you are right, this isn't true for the time being.

The ppa for which I had posted about above used to work, but I decided that there was a security risk using the above method and thus I removed it.

Wallch 4.0 is being prepared and will work on multiple different systems and Desktop Environments, so please be patient :)

We are trying to give the best user experience per desktop environment, so it is difficult to include all DEs into a single version of the program, so the program will come in many different versions depending on the desktop environment you are running!

Sorry for the inconvenience :(
