I changed my wallpaper according to the following instructions, found after a forum search:
"
They probably could have made it more obvious. So, you right-click the desktop and choose "Activity Settings". Let's say you already have a nice photo image or wallpaper image on you computer somewhere. Don't click "Get New Wallpapers", click "Open", and browse to the folder where you have your file. Find your image and click it. Now you see it on the screen graphic on the right side of the window. Now you have to click "Apply", then click "OK". Now your desktop should change to your selected wallpaper.
p.s. you can do all this while leaving widgets locked."
But when I shut down and reboot, I get only a plain blue screen... no old wallpaper, and no new wallpaper.
How do I get my choice to stick?? Kubuntu 10.04 and KDE 4.4.2
Thanks
Bob
