You're welcome... thanks for making this framework in the first place :)

If it's only a few lines of code, and if it does not cause any kind of
trouble, then I'd say yes: it's a nice toy, and allows the user to
evaluate the plugin before switching his desktop to it.

P.S. I checked the size of the .so when compiled without debug info,
to get an idea of memory usage: 44K. Then essentially the only data is
the image itself, so, this live-wallpaper essentially doesn't consume
more memory than a plain wallpaper. Unless you added subtlety to not
always keep whole wallpaper images in memory, I haven't checked :) In
fact i could still reduce memory usage by x4 by storing a 1-channel
image (since the gradient is monochrome) but then i don't know if Qt
makes that easy to draw.
