We can raise the subject there, but we should have a fast short-term decision for Mageia as well, this is blocking for packages import. So that would be either /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds, /usr/share/wallpapers, or /usr/share/backgrounds Any idea about how other distros are handling this? > I don’t know which package owns /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/, but > apparently it’s not desktop-common-data.

No packages owns it yet. $ LC_ALL=C rpm -qf /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/ file /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds is not owned by any package -- Olivier Blin - blino
