[SOLVED] How to change the wallpaper in Kde4

I can't find it anywhere,
Screen shot attached:

I looked around for about 15 minutes, it should be in Appearance tab, I can't locate it

I have found it, it is in the "folder view settings"

which is not in the appearance tab.

Right click on desktop => Desktop Activities (as far as I can remember...I'm in Gnome on Debian at present).

Desktop Settings, actually.

Right click on desktop => Desktop Activity Settings
(Both partly right

)

Ah well, I had unsubscribed from this "embarrassing" thread!

And right clicking on the desktop, it is in the "Folder view settings"! Huh? How could I have guessed that folder view settings are going to change the wallpaper?

and there is no such thing as "Desktop Activity settings". That must be related to Kde 3 series, a lot has changed in this nonsensical Kde 4.

In Arch (KDE 4.6) it's "Desktop Settings". I can see that the name of the menu option varies from distro to distro.

Mine is Kde 4.3.5 on OpenSuse 11.2,
Isn't it the Kde team which decides the name of the menu items? Or the distros deliberately modify those names just to look different?

KDE 4.4.5, in Slack, right click anywhere on desktop:

How did you take that screen shot? Print Screen doesn't work for me, neither does Ksnapshot for capturing that right click.
