Thanks, David. The patch compiles and does show the last image shown the last
time on startup. But it doesn't fix the problem:
* The plasmashell process still consumes huge amount of processing time
immediately from the login
* During that time, many plasma things don't work, including the "Start menu"
or whatever KDE calls it, the status bar with the notification icons, etc.

Maybe it helps to re-state what the problem is (the fact that the wallpaper
doesn't show immediately, which you fixed in the patch, is only one problem).
The main problem is that, now, Plasma appears to "scan and read" the whole
image collection immediately after log-in (not sure what for), and this freezes
the rest of plasma desktop for a considerable while. (More than 10 minutes on
this machine... I.e., I don't log out any more, I just lock the screen instead,
because logging in to a working system takes ages.)

In earlier versions, there was no problem like this. I don't know what changed
internally, but the explanation in Comment #13 sounds correct to me.
