you can, but think about the structure of a dbus service that maps to the 
wallpapers in a multiple-containment layout. i doubt we'd end up with a nice 
single "setWallpaper" method without it being rather simplified (e.g. only 
possible to set the wallpaper for the current desktop, current screen and 
current containment).

while we could do this, it would only be used for setting wallpapers and would 
not be at all a full dbus interface to plasma-desktop. given one can drag 'n 
drop things onto the desktop and get more accurate and interesting options 
there, i'm not convinced its worth it.
