I think the best way is to set the wallpaper by DCOP
from commandline this would look like this
#> dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper path_plus_filename mode
mode is a numerical value for how the image gets displayed:
centered = 1
tiled = 2
center tiled = 3
scaled = 6
(the KDE sources have this definition, NoWallpaper is 0:
NoWallpaper, Centred, Tiled, CenterTiled, CentredMaxpect,
TiledMaxpect, Scaled, CentredAutoFit, ScaleAndCrop, lastWallpaperMode)
Cheers,
Kevin
