I am using SUSE Studio to make a custom version of openSUSE with the KDE 4 desktop. A small problem is that the background is set by default to the chameleon light bulb. I suspect I can fix this manually by adding a line to the script that runs at the end of a build. So, what is this command, if it exists?

The default wallpaper is automatically configured when the user first logs in. You can change what the default gets set to by editing /usr/share/config/kdesktoprc or some such file (that is the file on my KDE 4 system; it may vary for OpenSUSE). Something like this should work:
WALLPAPER=/path/to/new/wallpaper
sed -ir "s:(Wallpaper)=.*:1=$WALLPAPER:" /usr/share/config/kdesktoprc
If you want to do the same for end-users already configured, change the path of the file to $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc (possibly $HOME/.kde4). You'll need to restart plasma-shell after you make that change.
See also information about setting up a KDE kiosk, which may be of some use.

That would be good, but how can I do it so that it's pre-packaged? Should I replace the file in the OS itself?
