There is currently no d-bus interface for plasma for such things. One could be developed, but it would need to take security into mind (the desktop shell should be relatively immune to hijacking; the user should always be in control by default) and the d-bus interface can not be as simple as "setWallpaper(path)" since there can be multiple Containments and different kinds of wallpapers. there is a signal for wallpapers to listen to that alerts them of a URL dropped on it that might be able to used, however. in any case, let's take this to the mailing list. -- Aaron J.
