Ah, if twas only so simple :-)

No, it doesn't matter if I've been loged into the session foe _days_. 
KDE seems to have it's mind made up, as to what it wants the background 
to be, and anything that changes it will, very shortly, get overwritten.

Let's check some basic things, and make certain we are on the same
wavelength. How do you think I should have the background set in the 
control panel. to allow the script to change it?
