another way could be an application developed by canonical itself. already exist a software called 'gnome-art', not more manteined, that uses art.gnome.org archives, and a new application, called 'gnome-art NG', that is a work on progress, still lacking some features but already usable. note that those software not only mangage backgrounds but can also browse and install themes and gnome splash screen (i know that ubuntu removed the gnome splash screen, but it should be useful to provide the users a way to simply re-enabling it).
if such an application could be installed by default, also grand-mothers will be informed that an application called, for example,'download wallpapers and themes' exist, simply opening the settings menu(or preferences, i don't remember the english definition for that menu, sorry ;-) ). canonical could create an 'ubuntu-look.org' or 'art.ubuntu.com' site as proposed in this thread simply duplicating the art.gnome.org site and slightly modifing the 'gnome-art' app. may be too much efforts for the results, but i think this way there will be no fork from gnome apps and all the user will know about it. ciao :) Max -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
