Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-wallpapers

During the wallpaper UDS session we discussed replacing the cosmos "bundle" of wallpapers with a bundle of the wallpapers we're shipping. That way users can enjoy all the contest winners by setting it to the one set and it will just cycle in the background over time. Also, the Cosmos wallpapers really don't match the look and feel of the current design and of the contest winners from the Free Culture Showcase.

This should have been done for A3 but it slipped through the cracks:

From talking to Ken VanDine on IRC:

<kenvandine> ok, i figured out how to do it
<kenvandine> jcastro, not hard... get someone to ok it as an exception and i'll whip it up then

Rather than replace cosmos, why not add a slideshow to ubuntu-wallpapers? It's not like you're gaining more than 5 KB or so.

I did that in a bzr branch already, and it is certainly less likely to annoy people this late in the cycle. However, one of the goals here was to save the space that Cosmos was using.

This doesn't add new pictures (-> CD size), just new XML, and doesn't change the default bg, so approved.

Is a gnome-screensaver upload needed to finish this?

It looks like this is done, so I'm marking the gnome-screensaver task invalid.
