the things i look at and weigh are:

* will the feature work consistently (multiple screens, per-virtual desktop 
containments, etc..) and not just work for some configurations

* what is the cost to the codebase (how complex will the patches to plasma-
desktop be .. and this does require patches there)

* is this valuable enough to add another item to the context menu? context 
menus ought to be fairly focused otherwise they become a clutter of options 
that become more difficult to sort through. we support setting the wallpaper 
through drag and drop, so this is a consideration here.

given the above, i'd much rather see the DnD support that already exists and 
works used with dolphin and gwenview.
