Hi, nice idea, thanks! Its useful to have this script here for others to find.

In the future it may be nice to have a way to run user-defined commands on display change. This could be done in one of the following ways:
1. disper plugin system
2. dbus/udev/hal/xorg notification handler
3. display change daemon, separately or in something like
Ideally, the video card should post a system event on display change, and is picked up by one of the above. Something with dbus is probably a good idea (related to bug #364856 ).

Users who would really like to execute special actions on running disper (like changing the background image), please make it known here, so I can decide what to work on (time permitting).
