Sometimes I drop a wallpaper to KDesktop, and then move the file.

I suppose dropping from internet webpage from konqueror would also make
problems if internet isn't available ?

In those cases, the next time KDE starts the wallpaper is lost.

Would it be better to save the image to a wellknown folder (~/.kde/foo/bar) ?
Then user can make what he want, its image would be stucked to one location !

Isn't it ?

I confirm the bad behaviour. When you drag a image from konqueror and
drop it to kdesktop, appears a "set as wallpaper" option in the menu.
This is a very convenient way to set the wallpaper. But the image is
saved to /tmp/kde-$USER/kdesktop$RANDOM/$RANDOM.tmp. Where $USER is the
user, and $RANDOM are diferent random strings. After a reboot the /tmp
directory is clean and the image lost.

Suggestion: keep the desktop image in a local cache:
$HOME/.kde/share/config/kdesktop/kdesktop.image seems a good place; the
complete original path of the image should still be kept in
$HOME/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc.
