Bug Description
After updating my Kubuntu 13.04 to the KDE 4.11 Beta 2, Variewty stopped working. It still fetches wallpapers, it saves them in the right folders, but the wallpaper doesn't change automatically as is supposed to, I actually have to go into "Default Desktop Settings" and select the Variety wallpaper each time. I'm using the latest Variety
I'm attaching the log from the last run I did today

1. Please confirm in KDE's wallpaper settings that ~/.config/ variety/ wallpaper- kde.jpg is set as the wallpaper - this is mandatory for Variety to work under KDE.
2. Also please confirm that while running Variety, this file is actually changing to the newest image - i.e. open it in a viewer, close it, change to the next wallpaper in variety, open it again and it should be different now.
If both of these are true, this would mean Variety is updating the wallpaper image, but KDE is not picking up the change - this might be some a new problem with KDE 4.11, a change from the previous behaviour.
