Having comically started to understand how to work with gtk2 just as it is killed off I was wanting to look at the desktop art in my Kubuntu 11.10installation. Firstly I want to see if I can correct the little bug with the taskbar button for the active program, where the edges don't line up right, but I'd also like to generally see how it's done.

Thanks.

Assuming that kde4-config --prefix returns /usr and kde4-config --localprefix returns ~/.kde4:

System-wide: /usr/share/apps/desktoptheme/
User: ~/.kde4/share/apps/desktoptheme/
