A low-key way to achieve something like this would be a little script
that periodically changes the lock screen background. You can also
create an xml file to encode a slide show and use that as the
background image. With that, you can do cross-fades and few other
things. But I am not 100% sure if the separate background for the
lockscreen was already present in gnome-shell 3.10 - it may have been
a later addition.
