Summary: provide a default background Product: mandrake_theme Version: 0.1.0-1mdk Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: packaging AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mandrake_theme doesn't provide a default backaground across different Mandrake versions, or even within the same Mandrake version. Mandrake 9.1: There's only mandrake_desk which provides /usr/share/mdk/backgrounds/default.png. Mandrake 9.2 download: There's mandrake_desk which provides /usr/share/mdk/backgrounds/default-9.1.png, but no default.png. Then there's mandrake_theme which provides /usr/share/mdk/backgrounds/Mandrake.png Mandrake 9.2 PowerPack: Mandrake_theme is not installed by default, but there is mandrake_theme-powerpack, which provides mandrake_theme, and the file /usr/share/mdk/backgrounds/Powerpack.png So there is no consistency, and setting up a windowmanager to use a default background is impossible. This will result in windowmanager using their own backgrounds, which costs space and adds inconsistancy across desktops/wm's. It will be a good idea to rename mandrake_theme to mandrake_theme-download, so it's clear that it's not the same package as the mandrake_theme on the powerpack. It should still provide mandrake_theme. A solution would be to provide a default background. And I mean just the same filename, like Mandrake.png. I don't really care if the download edition would have a Download.png, while Mandrake.png becomes a symlink to one or the other, or if both packages contain a Mandrake.png, as long as it is possible to use the same filename for a background, and set mandrake_theme as a dependency. I would prefer a solution that is compatible as possible with the current release, 9.2, that's why I suggest Mandrake.png as default filename. Just to make an example of where the problem comes up: XFce4 (actually xfdesktop-4) has it's default background hardcoded, and I changed it from an xfce background to Mandrake.png. The problem is that when people install these packages on their powerpack, that it will not have a background, since mandrake_theme-powerpack is the default package installed. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
