Hi all, The default wallpaper for F15 lovelock release is being packaged right now (I'm awaiting adding it to git right now). It is a sort of compromise [1] between what desktop folks wanted (use default gnome wallpaper for desktop spin for f15) and many design folks wanted (default wallpaper on default spin should be created by ourselves). I'll let you know again when all the packages are in rawhide so you can change the defaults. Now I would like to present an idea how to handle the defaults in a more efficient way. Since I'm not an expert in handling these in all the desktops we ship your input would be very much welcome. Let's start with GNOME since that is what I've been using till now: Along with the virtual system-backgrounds-gnome provides also provide a symlink (I propose /usr/share/backgrounds/default.xml) to the intended default and set it to by system wide defaults. This way just updating the wallpaper packages would also update the symlink and thus the default background. Correct me if I'm wrong or need something more. Of course you could override the system defaults for spins if needed. Now for XFCE which I'm using now. I noticed that if I put an image into /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops it will appear in the backgrounds applet, so I created new -xfce subpackage (with system-backgrounds-xfce virtual provides) to provide the wallpapers for xfce users. For easier defaults I propose to create default.png symlink in the same directory which you could then set as default. That way updating the wallpaper packages would also update the default wallpaper. I have no idea how defaults are handled in XFCE so this might not be the correct way to do it, so please correct me if I'm wrong. For KDE I'm thinking about symlinking the whole (currently) Lovelock directory with images and wallpaper description to Default directory at the same place (of course, provided by package with system-backgrounds-kde virtual provides). Not sure if that would be all that's needed or whether different procedure would be desirable. So again, correct me if I'm wrong. For LXDE I have not the slightest idea so any suggestions how to keep handling the defaults limited to [release-name]-backgrounds* packages is welcomed. Thanks, Martin PS: I hope I CCed the right people, if not I apologize and if you know of a better person/interest group suited for this discussion not CCed yet, please forward the mail to them. PPS: And sorry for cross posting it to both desktop design-team mailing list, but I think both groups might have something to add to the discussion.
