Actually that's what I had her do, but she had saved the<br>
image to her desktop so it was copy it into a folder in home then have<br>
her drag it back "like" she was going to move it back to the desktop <br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
then select "Set as Wallpaper", When a right mouse click, hover and<br>
left mouse click would have been _a lot_ more simple. For that matter<br></blockquote><div><br>Yep, without doubt that is simpler for the user. Wonder if we can add a DBus call to Plasma for setting current wallpaper, I'd like to know what other plasma devs think of this.<br>

more simple to explain as well. In actualyity she just wanted to see<br>
how it was going to look, since she has changed her wallpaper multiple<br>
times. I'm really hoping there's some way to do this, it just seems so<br>
simple and it was doable in the past with dcop. Searching multiple<br>
forums I see it's popular request, so if it is semi simple it needs to<br>
be documented some place. I will have no issue doing it, if I can<br>
figure it out. Thanks for you response<br>
