I think the new picture for the monitor used with the background preview
doesn’t entirely work as-is. This border looks weird. I tried to come up with
a borderless version. This is a bit of a challenge because the code pretty
much likes the actual preview to be square but the monitor really looks
better with round edges.
I halfway managed to fix the problem for the background dialog, the panel
dialog shouldn’t be a problem either, but the monitor is also used for the
screensaver configuration dialog and this is a problem because the
screensavers themselves draw directly in the (square) window.

After: http://www.svn.net/bastian/kde/kcmbackground1.png
Attached: draft patch for background module, new image with transparant screen
area
Problem: how to get the round borders in the screensaver configuration dialog
Cheers,
Waldo
