How to make Blyr and Variety work together?

Hm, Variety uses the standard Gnome mechanism for changing the wallpaper, including when updating the clock. It does not do anything "magical" in this aspect.

Here is the relevant code in the set_wallpaper script:

# Gnome 3, Unity
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://$WP" 2> /dev/null
if [ "$(gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options)" == "'none'" ]; then
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'zoom'
fi

I don't know how Blyr works, but I imagine it needs to be listening for changed events to settings and reacting to those, and I assume these would be triggered normally by the commands above, but I have not tested this.
