(Containment::setDrawWallpaper()) if not, don't show this feature in Frame * does it have a wallpaper currently? (Containment::wallpaper()) if not, then simply setting the wallpaper to be the Image paper or just not offering the opeiont at all from Fram would be the answer. * does the wallpaper support random images? we have nothing for this right now. if the wallpaper doesn't, then Frame shouldn't show this option. if all of the above is met, then we need a way to add an image to a wallpaper. there is no way to do this currently, either. so to make this happen, we probably need to extend Plasma::Wallpaper. in particular: * it should have a property noting whether or not it is image file based. this can be set by the plugin. * an addWallpaper(const KUrl &url) method or something like this. due to binary compat issues, it can't be virtual. but it can be public and it can either: QMetaObject::invoke a protected slot, which plugins can over-ride, or it can emit a signal which plugins would then need to connect to. i'd prefer the protected slot, because then when we break BC we can just make that method virtual public and not touch the plugins. -- Aaron J.
