Lock screen wallpaper
by Michael Catanzaro
Hi,
For the past couple of releases we have defaulted to a Fedora desktop
background alongside the upstream GNOME lockscreen wallpaper. I do like
the upstream lock screen background, but I'd prefer if it would match
the desktop background by default, instead of having two wallpapers
that were clearly designed separately and not intended to be used
together. Any opposition to using the Fedora background for the lock
screen as well? This means the art would be the same for both, unless
the Fedora background folks come up with a different wallpaper for the
lock screen.
Also, a question: *where* does this setting exist? I was expecting a
gschema override in gsettings-desktop-schemas, or maybe a patch to
gnome-backgrounds, but I can't find it anywhere.

release criteria for printing
by Chris Murphy
I don't see any release criteria for printing capabilities, local or
remote. Should there be? I just stumbled onto this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1187999
I haven't tried to reproduce so I don't know what the scope is,
whether it's a network printer (built-in server of some kind) or a
CUPS managed remote printer. But the apparent combination of firewall
blocking IPP by default (and permitting it fixing this problem) and
Fedora 21 Workstation didn't ship firewall-config by default either,
seems to be a setup for bad UX. Hence, should there be some sort of
print related criterion? What should it be? And for which release?

any interest in a fedora branded sound theme
by kendell clark
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
hi all
I've been thinking about this for a couple of weeks. Is there any
interest in a fedora branded freedesktop compliant sound theme,
possibly to go on the workstation image? I'd be glad to either take on
this task myself or help produce one. I'm reasonably knowledgeable in
the freedesktop sound spec so can make a pretty complete sound theme
if anyone is interested. Do the fedora packaging guidelines apply to
system sounds as well EG, no proprietary sounds from windows and/or mac?
Thanks for reading

Request to include gnome-maps by default in F22
by Debarshi Ray
Hey,
Allan and I would like to include gnome-maps in the default
Workstation installation in Fedora 22. It is a nice little core GNOME
application (like Clocks and Weather) that has come a long way. In
GNOME 3.16 (ie. Fedora 22), it has Foursquare and Facebook
integration for check-ins.
Having the application in the default installation would let us turn
on the the Foursquare provider in gnome-online-accounts. Otherwise,
users will be looking at an option that they can't use out of the box,
which is bad.
Thanks,
Debarshi

City list in Anaconda and gnome-maps
by Donald Buchan
Since the subject of gnome-maps is current right now ...
When I installed Fedora 21, I was mildly piqued that I couldn't choose
Montreal, home for me.
According to the online Fedora Documentation, section 5.4.3 (1), "The
list of cities and regions comes from the Time Zone Database (tzdata)
public domain, which is maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA). The Fedora Project can not add cities or regions into
this database."
Ok, grumble grumble, I used to be able to choose Montreal in Anaconda.
I chose New York, about 595km away; I could have chosen Toronto at about
542km away.
After install gnome-maps today, I opened it and it immediately displayed
a map of New York City, presumably since gnome-maps looked up my city
location, which I entered in Anaconda, found New York, and displayed a
pin over New York City.
I assume that /usr/share/zoneinfo/ is populated from the Time Zone
Database; the files for the various regions are a little bit text and
apparently a good amount of binary. Is there a way for the common user
to populate this directory with custom entries?
More generally, is there a way to specify a closer city in the settings
so that a user gets a ballpark useful starting location if their
hometown or metropolitan area isn't in the list mentioned above?
Thanks

package request: have qt-at-spi installed by default
by kendell clark
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
hi all
I hesitate to do this because I"m not sure what the proper way is to
request a package be installed in fedora by default, but I'd like to
request that the package qt-at-spi be installed in all fedora releases
from now on, at least until qt4 is eol and apps switch over to qt5. To
be brief, qt-at-spi is a plugin that bridges the qAccessible API to
at-spi, so that apps written in qt can talk to orca. Applications that
use qt5 do not need this, the accessibility bits are built in to qt5.
Along with qt-at-spi, if this gets included, a small script will need
to be put into /etc/profile.d called qt-accessibility.sh, with the
following content. export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1. Once this is done,
applications like vlc, mumble, etc read with orca. Until this is done
these applications are silent. For some reason the qt-at-spi package
doesn't include this script. This package needs no maintenance, once
installed in the live image it's done, no further action is needed.
qt-at-spi is no longer maintained upstream, and is only needed for qt4
applications
I'm not sure if qt-at-spi pulls in most of qt with it, and if so I
can see why it is not installed by default, but I don't believe it does
Thanks
