Hi Martin,

I follow your hint and I upgraded KDE to 4.11.2, according to the BLFS book.
This means, I rebuilt every KDE program as well as the dependencies which were 
not accepted from my earlier 4.10.2. The result is, that I am now able to 
change my background plasma. However, I got the worst problem of "Kwin 
unstable" :
I quote from "http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/152472-kwin-unstable.html"

------------
If I boot it up with the default window manager I get a message saying that 
kwin is unstable and it gives me the option to change window manager. If I 
don't change it I lose the ability to resize, move and tab between windows. 
The windows also lose their title bar, which means I have to either have to 
use File->Quit or right click on the task bar to close the window.

Well, exactly this is also my new problem. I think, somewhere in the building 
chain, there are incompatibilities which lead to this problems. As a 
consequence, I shall downgrade my partition to the well known KDE-4.8.2 and 
wait until KDE-5 shows up, to start then from the scratch. As I said, the 
problem is not critical.

Anyway, thank you very much for your comments. And: I am learning a lot ! :-)
