One possible reason I can think of is that your xml file maybe include relative path of your images. GNOME appearance only accepts absolute path. For example, your images are in the /home/usr/wallpapers directory together with the xml file, you must set path of the images in your xml file to /home/usr/wallpapers/image1.jpg, /home/usr/wallpapers/image2.jpg, and so on, instead of just image1.jpg, image2.jpg ... Hope this helps. Please post the content of your xml file if it doesn't solve your problem. Thanks. Hi, Max.

I know what you mean now. You need to choose to show All files at the top of the Open button in the Add Wallpaper dialog box, then choose your .xml file. Hope this helps.

As I stated in the beginning of this post, you need to navigate to the background source directory which is /usr/share/backgrounds/ in Ubuntu. Then go to the "cosmos" directory. Copy the file "background-1.xml" to the directory that you want to setup the desktop slideshow and customize it to your preference. Please feel free to write a reply comment if you have any problem.
