Wikiwall is a bash script that can set the picture of the day (POTD) from en.wikipedia.org as your desktop wallpaper in KDE.
If you're looking for a convenient way to keep your KDE desktop wallpaper fresh, you should check out Wikiwall. This bash script sets the "picture of the day" from en.wikipedia.org as your wallpaper, and can be set to autostart so you get a new background every time you log in.
The script saves the wallpaper pictures in the /tmp directory, and keeps a history of one week back in time. It also checks if wikipedia is reachable and if the wallpaper is already the current one, so you don't waste time downloading the same image over and over again.
To use Wikiwall, you'll need to have KDE 3.5.x installed. But once you've got it up and running, you'll appreciate its convenience and ability to keep your desktop looking fresh and interesting. And if you run into any issues, the latest release includes a bugfix for the set-auto option.
