Description Matthias Clasen 2004-09-23 17:00:04 UTC

I just tried to change the background on the fresh rawhide install,
and although the desktop-backgrounds-* packages are installed, 
gnome-background-properties doesn't offer any backgrounds.

I think we should

a) add xml files for at least some of the backgrounds to 
/usr/share/gnome-destop-properties

b) make sure the file chooser has a bookmark for /usr/share/backgrounds

I'm currently trying to find out a bit more about the xml format 
for a)...

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2004-09-23 18:21:48 UTC

Ok, so adding all the images in the desktop-background-* packages 
makes the dialog incredibly slow to startup, so we clearly have
to pick a handful (10 - 20) good backgrounds from the packages and 
remove the rest from the xml files I'm attaching shortly.

Created attachment 104207 [details]
all backgrounds in desktop-backgrounds-extra

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2004-09-23 18:26:09 UTC

Additionally, we should add a preview to the file chooser, and make
sure it starts up in /usr/share/backgrounds.

Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2004-09-23 19:08:25 UTC

I've asked Diana to come up with a short list of images to show initially.

Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2004-09-24 14:31:10 UTC

I have a patch ready to add a simple preview to the file chooser.

Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2004-09-24 17:37:39 UTC

Added the preview to the file chooser now, in control-center-2.8.0-5
Keeping this bug open to add the initial list of backgrounds.

Comment 9 Matthias Clasen 2004-09-27 15:29:44 UTC

desktop-backgrounds-basic-2.0-24 should has the prepopulated list of
backgrounds.
