Description of problem: When you install the latest CentOS Stream distribution in its workstation variant, it doesn't provide the artwork created for it, but a black screen as wallpaper. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 90.0 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-dvd1.iso 2. Select Workstation Variant during the installation process. 3. Login Actual results: The desktop wallpaper is a plain black color. No artwork. Expected results: The desktop wallpaper shows the artistic motif created for it in https://github.com/CentOS/centos-logos/releases/tag/90.4. Additional info: None.
The last compose (date 2021-10-14) already ships centos-logos-90.4. However, the /usr/share/backgrounds/ directory is still empty. Probably something in the package spec file? Best regards.

I believe the problem is that the backgrounds are part of the centos-backgrounds subpackage. That is built [0], but it is not being installed by default when selecting "server with GUI" or "workstation" in the installer. In fact I don't even see it in the repos, meaning it's not being included in the compose. [0] https://kojihub.stream.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=14678
We're also missing symlinks for default backgrounds so desktops will pick it up. For example, the following file paths should be symlinks pointing to the correct files: /usr/share/backgrounds/default.png /usr/share/backgrounds/default.xml /usr/share/backgrounds/images /usr/share/backgrounds/images/default-16_10.png /usr/share/backgrounds/images/default-16_9.png /usr/share/backgrounds/images/default-5_4.png /usr/share/backgrounds/images/default.png
I just checked. This is NOT a CentOS Stream problem. This is a RHEL 9 problem, that is also affecting CentOS Stream 9.
I'm okay with adding a Recommends: system-backgrounds to gnome-session. devack+
