Hello,

Ok. Can you tell us what linux distribution you are using? Also, have you tried looking in your distro's settings? I'm sorry, but if you are having trouble figuring that out, you shouldn't be using linux.

Cheers,

Josh

I am using Linux Mandriva 10.2...

There is no Mandriva 10.2 . An earlier version was Mandrake 10.2 .

Is it 'Mandriva 2010.2' ?

yes Mandriva 2010.2

This is from Mandriva 2011 , KDE 4 :

1. Right click the Desktop, select 'Activities'. A "Menu" appears.

2. Click the button 'Create Activity' : Select 'Empty Desktop'.

4. Right click the Desktop, select 'Activities'. The "Menu" disappears.

5. Right click the Desktop, select 'Desktop Settings' :
And now you can change background, or select "Open" for your image.
