Maybe ?

Could you show the theme xml file ? What theme are you using as a template ?

Same kind of problem from the Kubuntu Forums: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?56248-This-SHOULD-be-simple

The default Horos theme is using: wallpaper="Horos".

The documents ( K > Applications > Help > Control Center Modules > Login Screen ) are telling that it should be: file="background.svg". The background could be a pixel file: file="my-wallpaper.png" etc.
