Version: SVN r753240 (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc 4.2.2 OS: Linux This is something between bug report and wishlist item. I feel it is a bug, but it may be a feature? When selecting a background image, the file dialog blocks all of plasma, this includes even plasma applets on the panel. Therefore, as long as the file dialog is open, most of the desktop cannot be used.
I'd consider it a bug. And I can confirm that it happens.
Does it block all of plasma or just the desktop containment?
All of plasma.
fixing....
