Description: Just another Service Menu to set an image as a wallpaper. I hope I was one of the many kde users who hated the idea of Kdesktop crashing the moment an image file was dragged on to it or for that matter too lazy to open the Background Setting from KControl. This is a shortcut to get an beautiful image right where it belongs Last changelog:
This is not my original idea.Just found a site describing the same. http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/servicemenus.html
Seems to be OK at my end. Well its not such a big deal actually. Just create a text file called "Set as Wallpaper.desktop" in your $HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus and add the following lines to it.
[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=image/*
Actions=Background;tile
[Desktop Action Background]
Name=Set Wallpaper
Icon=thumbnail
Exec=dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper %f 1
[Desktop Action tile]
Name=Set as Tiled Wallpaper
Icon=thumbnail
Exec=dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper %f 2
Thats it!!
I've been using KDE on my debian distro since 3.0 days( on 3.2 right now).. and its been a real bug since then. They say its been solved an all but it doesn't seem so on my system

Same here, never crashing under Mdk 9.0, 9.1 and now 10, and I am a real fan of drag'n'drop, so... I'll send it to my Debian-using friends ;). greetz
to be a servicemenu which will be distributed by default with KDE. Fab
