alpha backgrounds

[Matthias Clasen]

Is somebody already working on packaging new backgrounds for the alpha ?
I'm asking because the desktop spin is currently over size again, and
the leonidas background packages are large, so I'd like to drop them. 
If we can get packages with one (or more) candidates for the new
background into rawhide soon, I'll switch the leonidas backgrounds with
those...

Maybe we could poke the devels to push this:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558241

It would save quite a lot of space.
(possibly too late again)

Not yet, I'll probably step in and make the packages tomorrow or the day
after, however I'm not sure if it would help you much as we haven't
chosen a single candidate so it will most likely end up with multiple
wallpapers packaged as a slide-show, although considering that we'll
ship only one size per wallpaper (for alpha), it might...
