Solved sort of, at least i found a workaround. Willy's mention of
kdesktop helped me to narrow the search in Google and i found this bug
report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=408113 . The
quick and dirty solution was to delete
/home/jonas/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc logout and login and i can
now change wallpapers again. Why it stopped work i have don't know,
all changes i did was through the GUI.
