I cannot find the facility I used to set background to an image I supplied.

Am I losing my mind or is it hidden?

Thanks!
I right clicked on the desktop and there is no desktop settings on the list

I've looked everywhere.

Not only that but the image I set last night has evaporated

and the under water cave is back

Below my right click pop-up (click for larger image). Try Alt + D or Alt + S on the desktop as keyboard short-cuts. Any luck?

You are the MAN!...thanks!

Alt + D or Alt + S worked

Your original solution (right click desk top) worked last night

wonder why the image had reverted to the underwater cave???

BUG???

Fancy giving us a screenshot of what your right click on the desktop looks like? www.omploader.org is a decent host for pictures...

I have no idea why it should disappear from the menu. Does it persist if you log out and back in again?

Different ballgame trying to take a snapshot :)

Watch your KDE, let us know your OS and KDE version and open a new thread for every new "weirdness".

You could have just made a screenshot using your "print screen" (programme is called kscreenshot) button but this is great, too, albeit a ton more cumbersome.

So you've changed your activity from "desktop" to "search and launch". I'd recommend this article http://www.ghacks.net/2010/08/16/kde-de ... -explained to get an idea.
