Hi list,

A couple of days ago I did a successful upgrade from M6 to M7 x86_64 using 'zypper dup'.

After login to Gnome, I changed the desktop background from the existing 'Glass' wallpapers to what seemed to be the IK wallpapers on the initial 'Grub sreen's' wallpaper. I expect this 'IK' slideshow wallpapers also will appear as the new default for 11.3.

That is, the Grub screen specifically showed the 'blue tone' background as shown in /usr/share/backgrounds/IK/4-night.jpg, and I was able then to select this blue one also for the Gnome desktop.

After logout and re-login to a KDE4 session (I have installed the KDE4 software pattern too), I tried to find and change to the same blue desktop background. But I saw only a related green-blue wallpaper named 'openSUSE113-1600x1200'.

Looking again into the /usr/share/backgrounds/IK, the latter sounds to be either the 2-noon.jpg or 3-evening.jpg image.

I have two questions here:

1) Can Gnome's 4-images IK slideshow backgrounds as shown in /usr/share/backgrounds/IK/ also be used by KDE4, possibly how to enable it?

2) Does the IK slideshow change background on a running system or does it change image according to the boot or login time of the day? /usr/share/backgrounds/IK/IK.xml
