Launcher fails everycommand, Kcontrol desktop module

[Cedric Van Labeke <hdcool@gmx.co.uk>]

When I press 'K' and then 'Run Command...'
it fails every command I try...it won't execute any program
though filename is correct :\

I have a module error in Kcontrol when clicking on the desktop
module in Look & Feel(though I don't have that problem when I 
right-click on my desktop and then edit properties)

I still wonder how one changes his background color while Ksplash
execs...in SuSE this is done by changing the root's background,
in Debian it just stays a grey background.
