Description Máirín Duffy 2022-03-22 16:38:11 UTC
Description of problem:
The adwaita.xml file in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties in F36 beta has the Adwaita wallpaper set with name "Default Background." This bumps this background to the top of the background chooser, over and on top of the Fedora 36 default background.

We have a pending update (will likely land after F36 beta) to set the F36 default wallpaper to have the name "Default Background" - see https://github.com/fedoradesign/backgrounds/pull/37

The adwaita.xml file will need to be changed so that it is no longer set to "Default Background" as its name in the XML - in the case both the F36 wallpaper and Adwaita are both named "Default Background" in the XML, it'll be up to the filesystem ordering which appears first (and that can vary based on the order the background RPMs are installed as I have discovered in testing.) 

I would also suggest that the 6 GNOME backgrounds included all be renamed with a "GNOME" prepending their names so they show up as a single unified block in the background chooser, which will make more visual and logical sense to users browsing it. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-backgrounds-42~beta-2.fc36.noarch

Comment 1 Allan Day 2022-03-30 11:13:29 UTC
I agree that the background settings would look a bit better if the default fedora background was placed in position 1. As much as anything, it would be better if the GNOME backgrounds were grouped together - this would tidy up the grid overall.

Long term, my feeling is that we should probably drop the use of the "Default Background" name to set the position of the wallpapers. There will likely be competing "defaults" - the one set upstream and whatever downstreams change it to - and I don't think we want to be in the business of patching the XML on a regular basis.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
