+Ahmad, kdebase4 is patched is the solution.
+Yes it has a interesting layout of dirs, but as i recall, if you just
+drop an image in /usr/share/wallpapers it shows up in the plasma
+dialogue.
+
+And even if it is set up to use default.jpg as default, it still
+misses all of the other bg's in the folder and all of the extra
+backgrounds.
