[Bug 569202] Re: WhiteOrchid.jpg replaces warty-final-ubuntu.jpg as login wallpaper

[K. Deniz Ogut]

Addition to my comment #3

I think the guess of the original reporter (as repeated in comment #2) as 
"WhiteOrchid.jpg replaced warty-final-ubuntu.jpg" (it  should be .png, I 
suppose) which is found in /usr/share/gconf/defaults/16_ubuntu-wallpapers is 
not valid. I don't have the Lucid machine I confirmed the bug with me right now 
but checking from my Ubuntu Karmic installation:
* My login screen was and is what Karmic default is which is obviously not the 
warty-final-ubuntu.png image
* The first line of my /usr/share/gconf/defaults/16_ubuntu-wallpapers reads as:
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename 
"/usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png"
* Even there's a reference to warty-final-ubuntu.png, which is indeed in 
/usr/share/backgrounds, neither my login screen theme nor desktop background 
have never been and is not at the moment "warty-final-ubuntu.png" image
* When I delete that line 
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename 
"/usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png"
from the file
/usr/share/gconf/defaults/16_ubuntu-wallpapers
and save the file and restart x; my login screen theme is still the Karmic 
default; and my preferrred user-set desktop background is still the same
* I don't know if that line (or even that file completely) has any use but 
seems that it is not related with the login screen theme
* In Lucid the image used for the login screen can be found in wallpaper 
choises as well (actual source files may be different; images are similar/same) 
but in Karmic the default login screen image is even not found as a desktop 
background choice
* And I even don't know / can't find where that Karmic login screen image lies 
and what the filename is
* As a result; Gnome login screen or its Ubuntu modification gets that image 
from somewhere but not from /usr/share/gconf/defaults/16_ubuntu-wallpapers
* As I stated in comment #3 community have difficulties to modify the login 
screen theme from Karmic on and its not that easy as to change a line in a file 
lying in /usr/share/gconf/defaults. In my opinion its not good to hide such 
files and preferences to some mysterious places and not to document them, but 
this is beyond the scope of this bug
* As a result, what I confirm is: Installing that package changes the the login 
screen theme to that image, as I said in comment #3
* In this sense, a modification for this bugs name maybe usefull, if the issue 
has nothing to do with "warty-final-ubuntu.jpg" [.png ???]
