First of all, no point reopening the discussion and abandoning the old
thread (which you posted to previously):
<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20110119/002240.html">https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20110119/002240.html</A>
><i>From KDE's point of view, which is a bit warped, it probably won't
</I>make any difference due to the specific dir layout KDE uses:
$ ls -R /usr/share/wallpapers/Horos/
/usr/share/wallpapers/Horos/:
contents/ metadata.desktop
/usr/share/wallpapers/Horos/contents:
images/ screenshot.png
/usr/share/wallpapers/Horos/contents/images:
1280x1024.png 1600x1200.png 1920x1080.png 1920x1200.png
So without finding a way to make this work for other DE's, symlinking
is moot.... IMHO.
You said:
"kdebase4-workspace is patched to look in */mga/backgrounds"
where is that patch? I grep'ed through all the -workspace package
patches and found nothing about this. Besides, why would KDE have look
in /usr/share/mga/backgrounds/ when it's just one file it can use,
/usr/share/mga/backgrounds/default.jpg which is a symlink to the best
resolution-fitting wallpaper depending on the user's monitor
resolution (XFdrake creates the symlink AFAIK); IIRC KDE plasma
default config in Mageia is set to use
/usr/share/mga/backgrounds/default.jpg as the default wallpaper.
