I will try http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute.
If that will prove too much for me and for my old system, then I will fallback on nitrogen.

I second that.
]]>Sorry for the OT: but nitrogen is the only reason you have gtk2? What does nitrogen have that the dozens of other bg-setters lack (eg, feh)?
EDIT: if the answer is "a gui", then I suppose that's true. I just always see that as a burden, not a feature.
Quick off-topic reply: it's not the only, just one of the few left. Getting rid of GTK2 isn't that much of an issue for me, just something I would like. I know I'm not going to get rid of it anytime soon as I need flashplayer, Firefox and Libreoffice.

]]>Waaait a minute... GTK is written entirely in C... Is Nitrogen a C++ application that includes a C library?
Nitrogen is written in C++ with the gtkmm library.
]]>I've been improving my C++ skills by witing some software for the Haiku operating system. The kernel, API, and userland applications are all C++. There's a lot of stuff to do, both easy and hard, since it's a "new" OS.
I'm not saying you should install Haiku. I'm just saying that's what I've been up to.
]]>Nitrogen does not run on GTK3? Or you want some GTK3 specific functions?
What is this doing, it sets the background of windows to different themes or what?
Arch is still on GTK2. I would need to change it, I suppose. Correction: they are both available, wonderful!
It currently uses GTK2, through gtkmm IIRC. I don't know if gtkmm supports GTK3, so you'll have to look into that. It's a background setter, indeed.
It's a quest for me to ditch GTK2; right now Nitrogen still requires it along with a handful of other applications. I would do it myself, but I don't know C++. You do, so you could help me out
