I found the background in /usr/share/backgrounds/images, and called that one from KDE's control centre, but even though the text was displayed in /usr/share/backgrounds/images, it wasn't showing up on the desktop. I finally fixed it by changing "Centred" to "Centred Auto Fit" , which then displayed the FC2 text. I never thought the Gimp would mess with my background on the desktop when I simply clicked "Aquire screenshot" in the Gimp. I'm going about this another way now. I've taken a screenshot using Kscreenshot, and will attempt to open it in the Gimp. Perhaps I can crop it to just leave the waveform I want for the icon. Methinks. Nigel.
