change kde background

I wonder if there is a command to change the kde wallpaper from the console instead of thru kcontrol.

Try[code:1]dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper /path/to/wallpaper mode[/code:1]I don't know exactly what to fill in for mode (it is described as "tiling mode").

Mode is very likely a numerical parameter.
Yu'll have to experiment which value has which behaviour (centered, strechted, tiled, etc)

It worked, I was trying to do a simple superkaramba theme that changes the wallpaper.
