1. Create an entry for xearth in the KDE autostart folder:

   Left mouse click on Autostart Folder.
   File->New->Program
   Make New Program kdelnk: xearth.kdelnk
   Right mouse click on new icon->Properties
   Execute: /usr/X11R6/bin/xearth
   Select appropriate icon, binary pattern, comment

2. Edit $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdisplayrc to eliminate
   [Desktop] entries that specify Wallpaper settings.

3. Restart KDE.
