           Summary: Desktop settings wallpaper dialog incomplete
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: alan.braslau cea fr


Version:           4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= (KDE 4.1 Beta1) (using 4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= (KDE 4.1 Beta1), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc 

The Desktop settings - plasma workspace
Wallpaper dialog is incomplete:
- "None" should be renamed "Solid color"
- A true "None" is missing (i.e. don't touch background, allowing other programs to modify the X root bitmap)
- "Image" is missing positioning options (but I believe that this has been reported)
- "Slideshow" is missing the "Image" positioning options (must currently be set by first choosing "Image")
- "Slideshow" does not cycle if (only one directory containing) one image is selected! Might sound silly, but the directory contents could be dynamic or the image might be periodically changing, so it really shouldn't be cached in this case. My current work-around is to create two identical files. Plasma then periodically refreshes the background. Of course, a better solution in this case would be to manage the background via an external program, and would be possible if a true "None" option existed.
