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. 

Before: http://www.svn.net/bastian/kde/kcmbackground2.png
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
