Variety Wallpaper Changer not changing on startup

When I start my system Variety loads but doesn’t change the wallpaper.
I have it set to change on startup.
If I log out and log back in it works just fine.
Here is my system:

OK I don’t get it .
Now I rebooted and it is working as expected.
I didn’t change anything.
Can we keep this open for a while to see if it happens again.
Thanks
Or is there any logs I can check?
I tried
sudo dmesg | grep variety
but it didn’t bring up anything

KDE has its own wallpaper-changing capability. Snoop around under “Appearance” in “System Settings”. The reboot was probably required for Variety. It’s been a long time since I used it, but I’m much more comfortable with the comparative simplicity of Plasma’s own offerings. Cheers.
