Note on lock screen wallpaper

This script cannot (at least for now) change lock screen wallpaper plugin

It reads and updates the Image property of the specified plugin that should be manually enabled in:

System settings > Workspace Behaivor > Screen Locking > Appearance > Configure

A list of wallpapers plugins known to have the Image property are:

| Name | ID | | ----------- | ----------- | | Image (default) | org.kde.image | | Inactive Blur | com.github.zren.inactiveblur Static mode |

Bugs

Plasma does not update the image of the same file name when it is replaced

wallpaper-reddit integration:

This assumes that you've copied ksetwallpaper.py to your $PATH and chmod +x'd it

Apply this patch to wallpaper.py (located in /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/wpreddit/)
