Using Webcollage as a desktop backgroung

I posted this under "software" but to no avail - I guess it should go here...

I've taken an extream liking to the webcollage applet bundled with xscreensaver. I've been trying to get it to draw my desktop background.

So far, I've almost got it working. I'm running KDE on Fedora core 3. Under Desktop configuration, Background, Advanced options I chose "use the following program for drawing the background" and added webcollage as follows:

Code:

Command: kxsrun webcollage -- -root
Preview Command: kxsrun webcollage -- -root
Executable: webcollage

(I also tried Executable: kxsrun)

What this gave me is indeed a beautiful webcollage background, but no desktop icons!
Also, my desktop no longer responds to right clicks.

Anybody know how to solve this?

Thank's

Boooaz.
