Mmm. Actually, this doesn't exactly work. After a while, the KDE slideshow starts traversing the directory and subdirectories of the target of the symlink. I've created bug 331223.

I suspect this new bug is caused by symlinks, so I tried to hack the code of variety to try and make it put wallpaper-kde.jpg into a directory that only contains this one file. I grepped through /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/variety for 'kde'. I modified the files share/variety/scripts/set_wallpaper and variety/VarietyWindow.py , changing
wallpaper-kde.jpg
to
wallpaper_for_kde_slideshow/wallpaper-kde.jpg

However, after creating the subdirectory and restarting Variety, it seems that it is still changing ~/.config/variety/wallpaper-kde.jpg , not ~/.config/variety/wallpaper_for_kde_slideshow/wallpaper-kde.jpg . Should I modify something else?
