[Bug 625357] Re: Previous custom ubuntu-wallpaper disappears after an Ubuntu upgrade

[Sebastien Bacher]

I made a patch for gnome-desktop:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-desktop/commit/?id=6deb007f102d8ae9eabb10808f34d7129932dad3

The new version will fallback to load the default wallpaper if the user
one is not available, not a fix for the original issue but it's better
than having rendering issue and an empty background

** Also affects: gnome-desktop3 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: gnome-desktop3 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Changed in: gnome-desktop3 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => In Progress

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu wallpapers initiative (from Flickr) is a good thing, but the big problem for lambda users is that the wallpaper they chose disappears after an upgrade of ubuntu, because every 6 months, the selected wallpapers are changed.
  My mother would be very disappointed to see her beautiful wallpaper disappear after an upgrade.

  Is there any way to save the one that was defaulted during an upgrade ?
  Or even add a link "Previous ubuntu wallpapers" in the Appearance window ?
