Doesn't the Image plugin support fetching url if it is not local ? So it is not needed for this \
function right ?

Also what about exposing the mode also - to be able to change between "SingleImage" and \
"Slideshow" mode ? Or should we make this just "SingleImage" ?

  <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; \
white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">i would prefer it if the plugin name and mode \
were not exposed. the use case is &quot;setting a wallpaper image&quot; so let&#39;s implement \
that. 

the main problem with being able to set the name and mode is that not only are most of the \
plugins optional (just asking for fun breakage) but also require configuration.

so i would recommend a rather simpler setWallpaperImage(const QString &amp;url).

it should probably do similar to what the drag and drop support does and if the url is not \
local then try to fetch it using KIO.</pre>  </blockquote>
