I tried to run mplayer with this option but it didn't work for me.

My first attempt was to create a transparent .png to use as wallpaper and the 
runing mplayer. No luck.

The second attempt was to use mplayer, with all the arguments as a progran in 
KDE's controll center/background. No luck there either.

I've managed to get chbg to run as a program but the drawback is that the 
desktop then becomes invisible.

I think the problem is that KDE puts iteslf over X's root window.
