Bug Description
I have noticed that while playing certain games like Terraria or Don't Starve while Variety is changing the wallpaper that my system freezes and becomes very unstable. Normally there would be a slight freeze when running other graphically intensive games or applications using Flash or HTML5 content.
I'm guessing this is related to the transition used for changing out the wallpapers. The ability to disable that effect would help me greatly.

No log from variety -v in a terminal because the bug fails to reproduce even when flipping through wallpapers.
