Lest anyone feel that my feeling about KDE4 reflects just a reluctance to march off into the future (which I expect to do anyway in the not to distant future), I am trying now to make another effort. I think I have mastered some of the (mostly unnecessary) changes in the way one must work. (In the future, people must not be allowed to become accustomed to anything. "Change" is the watchword.) One that has me stumped me is how to change the background (wallpaper) on the desktop. preferably separately for each of the multiple desktops. In KDE3, or course, one opened Configure Desktop > Appearance > Background, and from there all was straightforward. Not in KDE4 In KDE4, that sequence seems no longer to exist. One needs instead to click MB2 on any one of the multiple desktops, then on Desktop Setting, which brings up a window called Appearance. [One can also get to Appearance through Configure Desktops, but it is definitely not the same window. Cuidado!] In the window you have reached from clicking on the desktop, there are thumbnails for a few available images, most of which are in 4x3 format. Unfortunately, laptops are now made with 13x9 formats, so very few of the thumbnails attract me. But there IS a button on the window labeled Get New Wallpapers. This leads to another window, also with some thumbnails, but I was not able to find any way to point to a directory in which I have placed 1366x768 images that I wish to use. Leaving aside the vexed question of why the new process is in any way superior or more confenient than the former one, I would be grateful for any advice about how to introduce new images into the desktop.
