Comment 2 for bug 1589790

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.
