Moreover we can save a static "screenshot" of it that can be displayed. > * it cannot handle the multi screen case. We can save a wallpaper for each screen. > * we would need to know the activity before kactivity manager is started. > Especially the login manager cannot know which user will log in, before the > user logged in. Everytime the activity is switched we can save the wallpaper path to a configuration file. The login manager already knows the last user that logged in so it can display the right wallpaper. As soon a user is clicked or typed the wallpaper can be changed. In the worst case a default image should be displayed.
