I filed two bugs against packages which ship spacefun against ldm-themes[1] and SLiM[2]. I was only able to track those two down by searching for "spacefun", which might be incomplete (background.png, anyone?), but I'm sure there are others. I'm sure d-i has some artwork that would be great to replace -- there's a banner for d-i on the wiki[3] that looks like it might be able to slide in. It looks like syslinux / isolinux also needs to get a quick update, I'm going to be sending an email about that shortly. GRUB, GDM, KDM, Ksplash, KDE, plymouth all all have their changes done from desktop-base, so no need to play around with those packages, but who knows how a changed background will break stuff :) If you want to test how this interacts, the cut in SVN will install (but is not done yet) and give you a feel for the current state of things. Might help when you're testing (bugs welcome!) Once I go through and find a decent way to track down all the spacefun in the archive, I'll have a more complete list. I'll keep a wiki page updated at: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianDesktop/WheezyArtworkMigration [1]: http://bugs.debian.org/678474 [2]: http://bugs.debian.org/678475 [3]: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/Joy > > (I didn't check the d-i wiki pages yet, maybe it's there already.) > > Mraw, > KiBi.
