[Bug 311389] Re: gnome-backgrounds should be installed by default

Since Ubuntu 9.10 (ten months after this bug was reported), each version of Ubuntu has included a selection of background pictures from a community contest. You can install the winning pictures from any past Ubuntu version.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project. This report calls for adding a new package to the default , Hence not a papercut. A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day

In my opinion, GNOME's official wallpapers aren't very beautiful. We could start a contest to find the best wallpapers for Ubuntu! -- gnome-backgrounds should be installed by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311389 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

[Bug 311389] Re: gnome-backgrounds should be installed by default

I don't believe this would be the right solution, as users expect Ubuntu to come with all necessary things installed (browser, office suite and so on). I think nice wallpapers are that kind of essential stuff that all people are used to and want nowadays (especially that many people are former Wind

Travis, a few MB would be freed by #385850 (Ship fewer screensavers by default). As Daniele Napolitano said there: "I prefer more HD backgrounds that screensavers, less and less used (screensaver concept is born with CRT display for real technical reasons)." Less screensavers, more wallpapers :)

[Bug 311389] Re: gnome-backgrounds should be installed by default

I agree that having more wallpapers by default would be great. When I tried KDE4 one of the first impressions I had was "wow, those wallpapers are nice", with Ubuntu I can't say the same (it's not that the default one is ugly, but it is the only one available and gives a rather poor experience). -

[Bug 311389] Re: gnome-backgrounds should be installed by default

Michael, I don't think choosing 4 wallpapers would solve the issue, as Ubuntu is used by a great variety of users on every continent. The quality of our default wallpaper is often questioned in the reviews and by the end users. Having ability to change that in 3 clicks would be a very strong argum

[Bug 311389] Re: gnome-backgrounds should be installed by default

I agree that this would be very nice although you are right, size is a concern. I think it might be nice to have a smaller package with 4 or so in them, perhaps the best (as decided by a vote), such as either top 4 or the top one in each general color scheme, to get a good mix. I am not sure if a
