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.

I'm not even sure the Desktop and LockScreen wallpapers cycle independently. I set them to different stacks that change throughout the day, but it seems to me they ended up in sync.
So, +1 for just one background for Desktop and LockScreen - saves me the trouble of troubleshooting it. ;-)

The desktop-backgrounds-gnome[0] package installs a vendor override.

I actually like the fact that the lock screen and the desktop are different. And I don't see what we would gain by making them the same, other than another round of fights. The default background has historically been a battleground in the fight over branding and identity. I think we could do with a cycle of no fight over background changes...

We discussed this in the design-team list, and IIRC, the concensus was that for f22, we were going to create a complementary lock screen wallpaper that is different from the main Fedora wallpaper, but a slight variant. (similar to how the GNOME default lockscreen and wallpaper are)

OK great! That seems uncontroversial.

I updated F22 this morning, and recursively reset the gsettings for org.gnome.desktop.{background,screensaver} and saw a blue lock screen. Is this expected?

I'd say we could use it also for Plasma, is it going to be packaged in the standard backgrounds package?

Hi, did this ever happen? If not, I think it's time to set the lock screen wallpaper to be the same as the desktop wallpaper.
