Hi,
we, at the design team, are searching for a way to add attribution to wallpapers. We'd like to display it in the tooltip that appears in when you hoover over an wallpaper in backgrounds chooser in a similar format that KDE does it, e.g.
<b><wallpaper name></b> Author: <author name> <basic image info> Folder: <path to where the image is>
As you see, it only adds the 'Author:' line to what already is there. Is there some way to do it currently, or would we need to write a patch to background chooser?
Plus, is there any place where I can get the DTD file that's used as DOCTYPE in all XMLs in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties: <!DOCTYPE wallpapers SYSTEM "gnome-wp-list.dtd">
I cannot find it anywhere (hence the reason why I ask if there already IS a way)...
Thanks, Martin

I think we may need also an URL for proper credit (for example when we are using a Free image taken from flickr) - or can we abuse the <basic image info> for that?

<basic image info> is AFAIK autogenerated and contains things like if it's JPEG or PNG or slideshow, what's its resolution etc. It would really be quite abusive to put it in there. Actually, isn't putting the URL in there as well a bit of an overkill? I'm not that much acquaninted with CC-BY(-SA) licenses, but in software we also don't have these things lying everywhere... The detailed attributions are present in the usual place (/usr/share/docs/<package n-v-r>/Attribution) and installed by the very same package that installs the images.

Just FYI, I attach a (quick) patch that does this.

Great, can you post that upstream?
