+First of all, no point reopening the discussion and abandoning the old
+thread (which you posted to previously):
+<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20110119/002240.html">https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20110119/002240.html</A>
+
+&gt;<i>From KDE's point of view, which is a bit warped, it probably won't
+</I>make any difference due to the specific dir layout KDE uses:
+$ ls -R /usr/share/wallpapers/Horos/
+/usr/share/wallpapers/Horos/:
+contents/ metadata.desktop
+
+/usr/share/wallpapers/Horos/contents:
+images/ screenshot.png
+
+/usr/share/wallpapers/Horos/contents/images:
+1280x1024.png 1600x1200.png 1920x1080.png 1920x1200.png
+
+
+So without finding a way to make this work for other DE's, symlinking
+is moot.... IMHO.
+
+You said:
+&quot;kdebase4-workspace is patched to look in */mga/backgrounds&quot;
+
+where is that patch? I grep'ed through all the -workspace package
+patches and found nothing about this. Besides, why would KDE have look
+in /usr/share/mga/backgrounds/ when it's just one file it can use,
+/usr/share/mga/backgrounds/default.jpg which is a symlink to the best
+resolution-fitting wallpaper depending on the user's monitor
+resolution (XFdrake creates the symlink AFAIK); IIRC KDE plasma
+default config in Mageia is set to use
+/usr/share/mga/backgrounds/default.jpg as the default wallpaper.
