    multiple monitors and wallpaper set to Slideshow

    This issue existed in 9.04 for me as well as 9.10 now, but I figured it was a config file bug due to a distro upgrade and so I lived with it, however, I did 9.10 as a clean install and the problem still persists.

    In short, the problem is setting each monitor's desktop background to Slideshow.

    Here is the part of the plasma-desktop-appletsrc file:
    Code:
    [Containments][30]
    activity=Desktop
    desktop=-1
    formfactor=0
    geometry=0,0,1440,900
    immutability=1
    location=0
    plugin=desktop
    screen=0
    wallpaperplugin=image
    wallpaperpluginmode=Slideshow
    zvalue=0
    
    [Containments][30][Wallpaper][image]
    slideTimer=43200
    slidepaths=/home/cpradio/Personal/DesktopWallpaper
    userswallpapers=
    wallpaper=/usr/share/wallpapers/Air
    wallpapercolor=56,111,150
    wallpaperposition=0
    
    [Containments][31]
    activity=Desktop
    desktop=-1
    formfactor=0
    geometry=1446,0,1440,900
    immutability=1
    location=0
    plugin=desktop
    screen=1
    wallpaperplugin=image
    wallpaperpluginmode=Slideshow
    zvalue=0
    
    [Containments][31][Wallpaper][image]
    slideTimer=43200
    slidepaths=/home/cpradio/Personal/DesktopWallpaper
    userswallpapers=
    wallpaper=/usr/share/wallpapers/Air
    wallpapercolor=56,111,150
    wallpaperposition=0
    When I logout and log back in, [Containments][30] does not load a desktop wallpaper. However, [Containments][31] does load a desktop wallpaper. If I right click on [Containments][30]'s background and select Desktop Settings, the settings are correct and as soon as I click OK, the desktop wallpaper loads.

    Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I realize it is an extremely small issue, but it is annoying.

    I have a similar problem on 9.10 although I did not see this on 9.04.

    All usernames have the same problem although the first couple of log-ins seemed to be OK. For me, this problem arose after a small amount of use.

    As an aside, why can't desktop settings be put into the System Settings, I can't seem to remember that for each new version of Kubuntu that I have to right click to get the option. Wouldn't it make more sense to have all settings together?

    Back to the original problem, I agree with cpradio, it is a minor problem but very annoying. Any ideas anyone?
