Are you indeed using KDE Workspace 4.11.11 or 4.11.12? Could be a duplicate of bug 327580, which is fixed in 4.11.12.

So you're probably correct. As I'm on Debian Testing, I expect 4.11.12 should arrive fairly soon, so I'll update on the situation then. Thanks. OK, 4.11.12 now installed. And unfortunately the problem is still with me. Slightly irregular; I set up the slideshow and did a complete reboot - the slideshow was still there. Then I logged out and back in and I'd lost it. A bit of googling about this problem brought up a suggestion that it might be due to new activities being started automatically, but the slideshow being assigned to a **particular** activity. Any new activities **must** be coming into being automatically, as I haven't been creating them (no idea what they're for, to be honest), but looking at successive copies of the config file, it looks to my ignorant eyes as if new activities may well be the cause of the problem. ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc when I first set up a slideshow today:

wallpapercolor=0,0,0 wallpaperposition=0 [General] immutability=2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So containments 94 seems to have been created with the new slideshow I configured most recently. Each of the containments sections has a different activityId, which seems to point at the suggestion about new activities being in the right direction. So it could be that my problem is due to new activities being created and not inheriting the previous slideshow setup rather than a bug in the wallpaper code itself. To reiterate, I'm **not** creating new activities deliberately. This is a completely new KDE installation, with no KDE code having been on my computer before September 25th, so old config files hanging around shouldn't be involved in causing this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 321781 *** |
