You can also use the slideshow feature to set a new wallpaper from dolphin or gwenview with a rightclick on the wallpaper file.

All you have to do is to create a folder for you wallpaper, e.g. ~/mywallpaper, set the wallpaper mode to slideshow, set the slideshow to a very short time (e.g. 10 seconds) and choose this folder as input. Then you can create a kmenu entry "Set as wallpaper" with the command

Code:

rm -f $HOME/mywallpaper/* && cp %f $HOME/mywallpaper

. You never should call this directly from the menu as it would erase your wallpaper without creating a new one, but you can use it from dolphin and gwenview via "open with".
