I use the advanced panel to make xplanet generate the background.
I try to find the jpg generated by the system.
I tried to use dcop with :
dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface currentWallpaper 1
But the answer is a blank line. I tried with 0 or others but no help.
Once I will have found it, I will want to archive it.
Next question will be how to refresh it from the command line.
.
I use KDE 3.5 on slackware 12.
Thanks

I'm not sure where the file generated by xplanet is located, but you can use xplanet to generate a new file in your home directory.
To do this, go to the "KDE Control Centre" -> "Look & Feel" -> "Background" and press Advanced settings. Press "Edit" and your there you can see what command is used to generate the image. Run that command on the command line but change %x and %y to your preferred resolution and %f to the file name. Text in Quotes (") are translated from my Swedish KDE back to English and my not be 100% correct. There may be a "&& mv %f.jpg %f" at the end as well. That part shoud also be removed.
I don't know how to refress the background from the command line.
