I have modified DeskPict a little to do the following:

1) it no longer cares what number the PICT resource is in the DeskPicture file.
2) if there are more then one PICT resource in the DeskPicture file, one of them
   will be chosen at random.

I did this in order to make it perform similarily to BackDrop.  The only
difference being that you can't change the screen dynamically.  It seems to
work just fine on my SE/30.

The mod was to patch the code that looks for the resource to jump to a new piece
of code that I tacked on to the INIT which does a _Count1Resources, a random on
that, and a _Get1IndResource on the result.

If there is interest, I will post the 32 byte patch instruction to the net.
