Description Daniel 2009-03-15 22:04:25 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Slackware Packages

In the desktop Appearance Settings, there should be a configure option to setup showing the wallpaper across all screens. See I have two screens, and now I can only define wallpapers for them separately.
In System Settings / Login Manager (KDM's setup) there is already an option on the "Background (3)" page with which I can setup a wallpaper "Across All Screens". I can select this from a dropdown box, under the "Enable background" checkbox. Of course, this only applies to the graphical login screen.
So if there is already a function like that in KDE4, why not put it in the user's environment too?
