It would help to list which spins went oversize and what's their target
size. So general info:

For gnome we need a xml file which actually adds the wallpaper into
wallpaper chooser. The one in current package points to xml which
describes the time-of-day wallpaper version. If you'd need gnome desktop
without time-of-day wallpaper you'd need to add two new xmls (one which
would describe which images are used at which sizes and another one
which would add it to background chooser). In theory, we could split the
-gnome subpackage into -gnome and -gnome-tod which however isn't what we
(design team) want as we want the time-of-day wallpaper used by default
on Desktop spin. It's set not in kickstart, but in gnome-desktop(3),
hence the requires.

For KDE we need the wallpaper description via .desktop file (in -kde
sub-package). AFAIK, KDE does not have support for time-of-day animation
so it does not pull in everything.

For LXDE and XFCE neither -gnome nor -kde sub-packages should be pulled
in and if they are, then it's wrong.

Martin
