I looked further into this issue but I quickly got stuck and had to ask
help upstream:
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2016-July/056598.html
I just got two answers which lead me to some possible solutions.
It looks like that the script
/usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/layout.js is
executed when the user runs plasma for the first time. Unfortunately
that script does not offer any way to run other scripts at the same
time. Maybe we could patch it to allow this... but I don't know how easy
this is.
There's an other solution that we can use though: all scripts in
/usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/updates/ are
executed once for each user and they are also executed when plasma runs
for the first time. On the downside, it means that someone who has
customized his wallpaper and that will upgrade desktop-base will have its
wallpaper reset by the update script. Maybe we can improve the script to
detect this case and not do anything in that case... but again I don't
know how to do this right now.
That said I found the correct syntax to get the script working,
you can see this commit in my Kali upload:
http://git.kali.org/gitweb/?p=packages/desktop-base.git;a=commitdiff;h=1d846a74c9f0f78d175514c193890ddd791dbef3
The only other thing that we need to change for Debian is the line
d[i].writeConfig('Image', 'kali')
that you would change into:
d[i].writeConfig('Image',
'file:///usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-background')
Cheers,

Unlike the average package, I believe that desktop-base has no active maintainer that is going to take care of this, it's more one of those packages where contributors from each desktop team are supposed to handle things related to their desktop. So is there anyone from the KDE team who is willing to investigate and update the required integration? (Or at least provide initial guidance in this bug report so that others can pick it up) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Support Debian LTS: http://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html Learn to master Debian: http://debian-handbook.info/get/

Bug#831730: desktop-base: Integration with KDE's plasma-desktop seems to no longer work with current version
Package: desktop-base
Version: 8.0.2
Severity: important
User: de...@kali.org
Usertags: origin-kali
When you install KDE on a fresh system, the default wallpaper that you get
is not the one provided by desktop-base. So it looks like that the
integration provided by
/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma-desktop/init/10-desktop-base.js is no longer
working as expected and might need an update to work with the version of
KDE currently in testing/unstable.
$ cat kde-wallpaper/10-desktop-base.js
// Placed in /usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma-desktop/init/
// This script is run for new users, which do not have a .kde directory
// and it set's the default wallpaper for all activities
a = activities()
for (i in a) {
a[i].wallpaperPlugin = 'image'
a[i].wallpaperMode = 'SingleImage'
a[i].currentConfigGroup = Array('Wallpaper', 'image')
a[i].writeConfig('wallpaper',
'/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-background')
a[i].writeConfig('wallpaperposition', '2') //enables croping
}
(This has been identified on a Kali Linux system but I have all the
reasons to believe that it also applies to a Debian testing system)
