I'm not saying it's a problem. Just the solution should be - to have one "master" wallpaper packaged in a standalone subpackage (and probably used for GDM/KDM/KSplash) and package the rest slideshow in the another subpackage. Spins that have a spare space can ship base one wp package + slides package (even 2G Plasma spin!!!). Regular Plasma spin can ship just the base one. And we will see - maybe we will have some space available and we could ship all - can't say for sure now. But I still prefer a little bit more ship software users are asking us to include in live image. > > Another important thing is - we need some simple designs.

The base wp could be the simple one for example, slideshow could be more artistic like - so probably not the default one even for smaller spins? Just and idea.
