Probably not. The image file name is citrusdal.jpg, this is the name of
a small town in South Aftica as Wikipedia tells me. It's just one of
dozends images I got from KDE-Look.org, they change every hour. Same for
the 6th desktop, which shows another bunch of images. The others are static.
Not that this is useful in any way, in fact it would be smarter to
choose backgrounds that would not make my semi-transparent Konsoles a
little hard to read, but I wanted a little eye-candy.

Wow, I would need many more desktops then. How many do you have? So you
also use activities? I don't, and I think they don't suit me as I
already havmy things separated on their desktops, but I do like the idea
and am interested in how this develops.

I like it this way, and cluttering is not a problem for me. Well, maybe
I could put Amarok + my MP3 Dolphin on an exra desktop, leaving more
space for movies and images. But then, when I need the space, I simple
double-click Amarok's title bar which makes it roll up so only the title
bar is visible. And sometimes I maximize Amarok vertically or even to
fullscreen.

There are who-has-the-best-KDE-dsktop competitions, and I always wonder
why those people only seem to have a single one, with few applications.
If I was to participate, I would have to compose all my desktops into a
large image, but that would be against the rules.
