Why, does KDE claim exclusive rights to the X display?
I suppose that things have gotten so complicated that this could create havoc. Of course, I could always go back to using (v)twm, or (v)olwm if I wish!
However, I do concede that one will have to listen to the kde developers who must better understand the technical limitations to KDE that result from playing around with standard X tools.

> we allow plugins for background drawing...
Will I have to wait for 4.2 to see this? Will this be easy without a big investment in learning about kde programming? I hope so.

Also missing setting the background color, useful if the images do not cover the entire screen. But I believe that this has also been already reported, as has the request for maximum aspect ratio and tiled maximum aspect ratio...

Indeed, this was the motivation of filing a report.


Thanks for reading the bug report. Keep up the good work. KDE 4 has come a long way since 4.0. So much so that I have now installed 4.1 beta 1 on my working terminals, living with the bugs and crashes in order to contribute by reporting the ones that are particularly hindering or else clear to express (and reproduce).
