Calling wallChanger.sh from a terminal is no problem. However, when I put it into ~/.profile I don't see the effects of the script when I log in. I assume that I need to run this in a new thread or something, but how?

I guess you will hve to make your script wallChanger.sh another startup application so that it gets loaded after you have logged on to the graphical user environment (Mate, Cinnamon, xfce, KDE, whichever you are using).
You can do so by launching "Startup Programmes" from the menu (Menu => Preferences => Startup Progams on Cinnamon e.g.), clicking on [Add], selecting your script and clicking [Apply].
As you want to change your wallpaper periodically, however, I would rather check whether the desktop environment which you are using does offer a built-in function to change wallpapers periodically out of the box.

Great idea Karl. I'm playing with it now. Hopefully I'll get some good results.
