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

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

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. <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-
wallpapers/13.04.0daily13.03.20-0ubuntu1#source-binaries>

So if this bug report had been "Not enough variety in default background
pictures", I could now mark it as Fixed. Since it is instead "gnome-
backgrounds should be installed by default", I shall mark it as Won't
Fix. Fourteen backgrounds are installed by default. If you wish, you can
install gnome-backgrounds as well.

Title:
  gnome-backgrounds should be installed by default

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-backgrounds

  Users coming from different systems (like Windows) are used to the
  fact that they can choose from a set of a stunning wallpapers, which
  are presented in the desktop properties. It is really one of the first
  things they do, because having a beautiful background can greatly
  increase productivity and make using the computer enjoyable.

  Since upstream solved the problem (see: http://library.gnome.org/misc
  /release-notes/2.24/#rnusers.backgrounds ), it would be nice to
  include their solution by default. I know it would increase the size
  of the cd by 9.5mb, but it would be *well* worth the cost.
