KDE - Problem with changing my Desktop Background


This is weird as hell... I spent like a half hour in gimp making myself a background (image size=1024x768). I changed the comments to 'THIS IS MY BACKGROUNDS!!!!' or something like that when I created a new image. When I saved it to jpg, I exported it at 1x1x1 or whatever that is, instead of 2x1x1.

Anyway, my problem is, I can't use THAT particual image for my background. Well, actually, in a folder of five pictures, only 3 of them are even visible when I try selecting them in the Configure Background selection dialogue. I tried this

Code:
dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper "/path/to/my/wallpaper.jpg" 1
Using the correct path (yes, I checked multiple times), but all it did was show the flat gradient instead of any pictures.

Anyone know what the hell is wrong?
