You misunderstand. gnome-desktop is going to be installed without
laughlin-backgrounds-gnome being installed in this proposal. The question
would be how to make that work. One option is not having the time of
day based background the default.
I'm under the impression that you need to
avoid it for broffice an xfce
spins only. We definitely want it installed by default on desktop spin,
design suite, etc., i.e. everywhere where gnome desktop is installed and
size isn't an issue.
I.e. IMHO we need solve two cases:
* it is installed and used by default
* gnome-desktop is being installed, but not the time-of-day
wallpaper but it still works.
In short I don't see any other solution (that would satisfy both
parties) than two conflicting defaults... Yeah, if we could make one xml
work for both cases that would solve the issue nicely and in better way,
but I highly doubt that's possible.
Or maybe making it work using 'alternatives' (I totally don't know how
and for what this system works, but maybe worth investigating) -- having
one .xml symlinked to the simple .xml one unless the advanced package
gets installed (we could probably handle it via %post section) and then
add the advanced package to comps where desirable (would it work
correctly for spins?).
