I checked the playground, but couldn't find it. Anyone knows where it is?
Can it be included in kde svn ?

<br>
I use an image slideshow for most of my wallpapers and there's this<br>
little bit of functionality that I'd really like to have : an easy way<br>
to switch to the next wallpaper in the slide show (ie, change away<br>
from the current one). I'd love to attempt a patch to allow this if<br>
someone could point me in more or less the right direction (and if<br>
such a functionality will be considered desirable by plasma/kde :)<br>
<br>
I know Windows 7 has something like this - there is a 'next wallpaper<br>
image' item in the context menu that opens when you right-click the<br>
desktop. However, I've taken a quick look-through of the desktop<br>
containment code and the image wallpaper plugin code, and I think this<br>
will be difficult to achieve in plasma because, if I'm not mistaken,<br>
the wallpaper plugin doesn't have control over the right-click-desktop<br>
context menu, and it will be inappropriate to hack the functionality<br>
into the core desktop code.<br>
<br>
So I'm wondering what's the best way to insert such a functionality.<br>
I'd really appreciate some pointers and I apologize beforehand if I'm<br>
misunderstanding something or making a noobie mistake :)<br>
