Package: wmaker
Version: 0.61.1-4
Severity: normal
/etc/X11/WindowMaker/background.menu contains the following entry for the
"Images" submenu:
"Images" OPEN_MENU LOCAL_BACKGROUNDS_DIR BACKGROUNDS_DIR
USER_BACKGROUNDS_DIR WITH wmsetbg -u -t
This makes all images (including Debian.jpg, in BACKGROUNDS_DIR)
tiled by default. The end result with Debian.jpg is disastrous. You
end up seeing only a portion of the image if your desktop size is
too small (e.g. 640x480 on an old VGA monitor).
What I have done to correct this locally is created in
LOCAL_BACKGROUNDS_DIR and my USER_BACKGROUNDS_DIR subdirectories Tiled/,
Scaled/, and ScaledAspect/ (there are other possibilities too, but these
are the three I use the most). I then created the corresponding submenus
in background.menu under Images called "Tiled", "Scaled", and
"ScaledAspect" that generate backgrounds from these directories using
wmsetbg -u -t, wmsetbg -u -s, and wmsetbg -u -a respectively. However,
for the tiled menu, I still have to point at BACKGROUNDS_DIR, which I
cannot split into three subdirs as that is still under the wmaker
package's control. This leaves the "broken" Debian.jpg in this menu.
I have created a copy of Debian.jpg in LOCAL_BACKGROUNDS_DIR/ScaledAspect
which looks OK (well, mostly OK, see bug #59625).
I'd like to see BACKGROUNDS_DIR support these sub-menus as well. It's
only a few lines in background.menu. Any chance this could be fixed soon?
I think it's a terrible shame that our logo is so badly handled by
wmaker.

This bug is too old. Probably this bug is solved now because the
LOCAL_BACKGROUNDS_DIR,.. are used now.
