Would it make sense to add another heading under the "Desktop" dialog?
Right now I see Deskopt Effects, Mulitiple Desktops, Screen Saver, and
Launch Feedback. How about adding something for the ZUI?
If not, what about adding a new section under the "Look & Feel" heading?
Just two thoughts off of the top of my head.
David.

</div>this brings us to the next set of questions:<br>
<br>
Where do we put this configuration option, how do we label it, what do we let<br>
the user set it to? (set choices, free colours, pixmaps..)<br>
<br>
the possibilities are numerous:<br>
<br>
* re-use the wallpaper plugins, and use them to paint the background of the<br>
view<br>
<br>
* colourize the checkerboard<br>
<br>
* allow the user to define a pixmap to use as a tiling pattern (this is what<br>
the checkerboard is, btw)<br>
<br>
none of these are overly difficult to code. the question is all about the<br>
impact on the user experience when it comes to configuring it.<br>
<br>
i don't think putting this in the Appearances Settings dialog is good: it<br>
isn't the right context (putting the Plasma theme there is already pushing it<br>
too far imho) and that dialog is already overly complex.<br>
<br>
there's a "need" for global plasma settings, perhaps. theme, colours, \
etc.<br> perhaps that is what belongs in system settings and could be offered via \
the<br> checkerboard background when zoomed out as well.<br>
