this is such a bad idea that all such applications deserve to be taken out back and shot.

that is precisely why we allow plugins for the background drawing.

in 4.2 we'll be breaking out wallpaper support from Containment so one can write a wallpaper-only-plugin.

so, revisting the remaining issues:

> - "None" should be renamed "Solid color" 

we're in a string freeze, but this change sounds sane. will have to wait until 4.2

> - "Slideshow" is missing the "Image" positioning options

already reported elsewhere

>  "Slideshow" does not cycle if (only one directory containing) one image is 
> selected!

this is the true bug here.
