Even in raring, the slideshow provided in the "ubuntu-wallpapers-karmic" package does not work because of an invalid XML file.
The fix is straight forward:
In /usr/share/backgrounds/contest/karmic.xml (contest/quantal.xml in the source dir)
<transition>
<duration>5.0</duration>
<from>/usr/share/backgrounds/Sunset.jpg</from>
<to>/usr/share/backgrounds/TheRainbowisDead.jpg</to>
</transition> <-- This one is missing
Just adding it fixes this issue.
AFAIK, there no regression potential and this fix can be applied on all supported Ubuntu releases.
