A possible solution might be to take advantage of KWin. Consider Plasma not rendering a wallpaper at all and KWin knowing about it. In that case we could have a special effect rendering the wallpaper. We already have functionality to render the background black if it becomes visible. This would just needed to be extended. But it would make mouse interaction and stuff like that impossible. Cheers Martin
