Bug Description
Binary package hint: simdock
On Kubuntu SimDock shows two error messages on start:
"Can't load image from file '/usr/share/
And:
"Error! Could not load Background Image!"
The problem is that gconf doesn't correctly report the current wallpaper. The fix I've found is to run:
gconftool -t str -s /desktop/
This should fix the problem on KDE 3.x. A possible fix would be to wrap simdock in a bash script and run gconftool if the current desktop environment is KDE.

Thanks for your bug report. Can your confirm that you are using the latest Kubuntu Hardy release? I also had this problem with Linux Ubuntu Hardy alpha 4 but it's fixed since alpha 5.
