+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Most Gnome backgrounds appear to be located in
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/ (some are in /usr/share/backgrounds/)
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Is everyone ok to have our backgrounds in
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/&lt;theme name&gt;/ and the distro default as
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/default.jpg ?
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Well, I&#8217;d say it would be better if it were also desktop-neutral.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> AFAIK, there is one freedesktop specification for icons [1], but not for
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> wallpapers, it would be nice to raise this subject on fd.o ml.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> We can raise the subject there, but we should have a fast short-term
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> decision for Mageia as well, this is blocking for packages import.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So that would be either /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds, /usr/share/wallpapers,
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> or /usr/share/backgrounds
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Any idea about how other distros are handling this?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I don&#8217;t know which package owns /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/, but
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> apparently it&#8217;s not desktop-common-data. I would rather not having to
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> install gnome packages/kde packages for that.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> No packages owns it yet.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> $ LC_ALL=C rpm -qf /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> file /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds is not owned by any package
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> gnome-screensaver uses /usr/share/backgrounds.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I think /usr/share/wallpapers is the best one.
+</I>
+Actually, /usr/share/backgrounds seems pretty good, since
+gnome-control-center uses this directory by default
+I'll use this one temporarily.
