Well, I've just tried it and it works fine for me. I added a $KCODE = 'u' 
line, and commented out the call to the dcop command line tool as that isn't 
to do with korundum:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'Korundum'

$KCODE = 'u'
KDE::CmdLineArgs.init(KDE::AboutData.new("a", "", '', '', 0))
KDE::Application.new
files = Dir["/tmp/allgäu/*.jpg"].sort
dk = KDE::DCOPRef.new('kdesktop', 'KBackgroundIface')
files.each_with_index do |file, i|
#  STDERR.puts "system #{file}"
#  a = "dcop  --user han kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper \"#{file}\" 4"
#  system(a)
  sleep 4
  STDERR.puts "dcop #{file}"
  dk.setWallpaper(file, 4)
  sleep 4
end

The four images all appeared in sequence at 4 second intervals as expected..
