Hello,

Quoting Martin Graesslin <mgraesslin@kde.org>:

Image plugin probably is the most used wallpaper plugin, so it would  
cover a lot of cases. 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.

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.

Bye,
Davide Bettio.
