changing to random wallpaper at startup (dcop kdesktop)

[NMY]

Hello!

I have this script

#!/bin/bash
wallpapers=(~/pictures/*.jpg)
wallpaper_count=${#wallpapers[@]}
random_wallpaper=${wallpapers[(((wallpaper_count - 1) * RANDOM / 32767))]}
dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper "$random_wallpaper" 6
killall conky
wall=`dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface currentWallpaper 1`
echo "$(date): ${wall}" >> ~/wall_log.txt &
feh --bg-scale $wall
conky

and I want it to work on my new Kubuntu Intrepid.
How do I do that ?

Thanks.

P.S. Can someone tell me if system tray icon issue is fixed or not, because mine is still messed up...

KDE 4 is using dbus and this > How can I change my current wallpaper using DBUS? tells that

aseigo:

currently you can't; we just brought in wallpaper plugins for 4.2, which is a first step towars making them odular and more easily controlled in a reliable way from the outside.

exporting the API for all the useful internals in plasma have not yet been written, however.

What do you mean ?

Here the System Tray - Theme Glassified, desktop effects on and off (transparency) - is looking like this:

Same thing on all themes.
First of all amarok did not want to go to tray icons, so i'm using 'dcopserver_shutdown' at startup. This is the last issue

Do you mean that it doesn't hide any apps listed in the system tray itself? Try configuring it by right clicking on it and selecting System Tray Settings. It'll open a new window with the Auto Hide as its default tab displayed on screen where you can select which apps should be visible icons or hidden ones.
