Automatically changing the wallpaper for XFCE4

I’m setting up a Linux Mint Debian box running XFCE, and of course one of the most important things when setting up a new machine is to make sure that you can rotate through all the wallpapers you love.

I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why simply running

DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/xfdestop --reload

wouldn’t work correctly when I entered it into my crontab.

This helps.
