That's not really gonna work.
You need to apply an actual distorsion filter on the gradient (ie. randomly move around quite \
some pixels) to avoid banding if you've a gradient across a thousand pixels that spans from \
#000000 to #111111

So you'd rather bring a prefabbed image and at best don't scale it, but preferably scale it UP \
(more pixels), not down (more banding) Then plug the KDE logo in front of it.

If you want to try it with a radial gradient, mind that around the logo, the background needs \
