Will it break backward compatibility?  I'll admit that that was *my*
first thought, too... but in retrospect, it might not be a problem.

I can think of three possible scenerios to use the 1.2 release:

Scenerio: 1.1.1 user installs 1.2 over current installation
Result:   All old wallpapers are still there in addition to the new ones

Scenerio: 1.1.1 user installs 1.2 somewhere else
Result:   This breaks all of their config files anyway

Scenerio: Firsttime KDE user
Result:   No config files to worry about

Am I missing something?  Where can there be a problem?
