Desktop background slideshows get stuck after a long while

Description
At least two users reported downstream that if a desktop background slideshow has been running for a long while it gets stuck, apparently during the fade in of one wallpaper and the fade out of the other.
I'm not so sure where to look for the cause of this. It would probably be good to ask them to run the desktop drawer in valgrind, but it would take a long time for it to get stuck and I don't know that much about what binary actually draws the background. Any ideas?
