Lovely, thanks.

Wow. That's great. But: can you tell me where I can find
more info? No man page, and google is not being my friend.
I tried:

me at myhost:~/.kde/share/config> kreadconfig --key=WallpaperList 
--file=./kdesktoprc

Got nothing.

_Really_ cool. Would that be a backtick trick? Like:

WallpaperList=`list_wallpaper_files.sh`

Or something else?

Many thanks,
