Dear KDE maintainers and Debian Desktop users and developers, I'm working on theme packages for the Debian Desktop, and came with a few problems overriding the default KDE wallpaper. I noticed that kde-wallpaper-default comes with a symlink in /usr/share/wallpapers/kde-default, that points to the default wallpaper. It would be very nice to be able to override this default link with a new installed theme.
Currently, desktop-base (and probably any other theme package) creates a plasma script to run upon the user's first KDE configuration, and at that point override the default. This simply don't work very well for some scenarios, like installing a new theme or changing the default theme to another one by the installation of a package. Put in other words: it could be nice to be able to change the default KDE wallpaper systemwide. I wold like to discuss with the kde maintainers if there is any way to change this symlink to use the alternatives system, allowing the default theme to be replaced by another package or by user choice if there is more than one alternative, and potentially avoiding the use of plasma-scripts to set the default wallpaper. If something similar could be done with the default Ksplash theme, that wold be also great. Thanks for your attention and comments. Best Regards, -- Ronoaldo Pereira
