 I haven't seen the thing you're talking about, but we have a world
 map background thing.

 Um...

 kcontrol - Appearance and Themes - Background - Advanced - [x]
 Use the following program... - kdeworld

Thanks, but seems not to be in kde 3.1.5, I might upgrade then

The Debian package you need is called 'kworldwatch' - I'm sure it was part of 
KDE 3.1.5, but you simply may need to install this package :)

Cheers,

Well, I found kworldclock, which seems pretty much what you are
describing, however I fail to configure it as a background, since I
don't find the corresponding walletpaper.

As above.. kcontrol - Appearance and Themes - Background .. now look on the 
right just underneath the picture of the monitor, there's Advanced Options, 
now select use the following program for drawing the background and you 
should then be able to select kdeworld from the list.

KDE 3.2.2 has been in sid for a couple of weeks now - and I now suspect you 
have a mix of packages from 3.2.2 and a previous version which may explain 
strange problems you're having - could you try a full dist-upgrade to bring 
everything on your system to a concurrent level?

 In any case under 

Did you mean to leave this sentence half-finished? I do that a lot! :)

Uwe, I think the language barrier has come between us - I simply don't 
understand what you're trying to say :( Could you perhaps post a screenshot 
of what your 'Advanced Options' window looks like (use the 'ksnapshot' 
package to do this)

Mine looks like http://bum.net/snapshot1.jpg
