I have no KDE to test on at the moment. Does KDE display the wallpaper properly if you set it directly from its Appearance settings? This may also very well depend on the workaround you use to make Variety work with KDE. Does the image file end up as a correct image in the target folder ~/Pictures/variety-wallpaper/ after you choose it in Variety?

Does KDE display the wallpaper properly if you set it directly from its Appearance settings?
>>No(http://imgur.com/biRuXpf). But I can open the image and view it.

This may also very well depend on the workaround you use to make Variety work with KDE.
>>I have used the second workaround mentioned in your post.

Does the image file end up as a correct image in the target folder ~/Pictures/variety-wallpaper/ after you choose it in Variety?
>>Yes it does.

I think it happens with all .png images. At least, as far as I've checked on my KDE devices it only happens with .png images.

I have noticed it to happen even with .jpg images. I don't think if this will be fix ever.

It happens with png files renamed as .jpg, for some reason variety changes file extension. If file extension is changed to .png plasma shows it correctly.
