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.
