Well, I have again wasted most of an hour trying to make a simple
change to KDE and have not succeeded. Did someone miss the point that
hiding things does not make KDE easier to use?
Does anyone know how to change the X root window image (it is behind
the desktop but sometimes is viable) for KDE? Or, if it is hard
coded, what is its name and location?
This is the image:
http://home.earthlink.net/~tyrerj/files/ugly.pn
"ugly" is a matter of taste: http://bennip.de/?p=1631
It certainly is ugly when you expect something else and it is totally
out of place with the rest of your desktop. But the reason that I said
that it is ugly is that someone appears to have decided for me that it
will be part of my desktop and there is no way to configure it or change it.
I've set now that image as my current plasma wallpaper. It wasn't difficult to
find the file, already installed on my system, once I've realized that it has
nothing to do with KDE at all. After that, it was also easy to track the image
on Google down to its roots: http://www.andreasn.se/blog/?p=58
Well, reading the blog, it is now wonder that I was fooled since the
author of this background offered it as something which was not GNOME like.
Thanks for the assistance.
