Bug#439838: desktop-base: the Debian swirl should not be scaled but zoomed
Package: desktop-base
Version: 4.0.3
Tags: patch
The default Gnome desktop background for Debian Etch does not look good
on resolution 1440x900.
I installed Debian Etch on a PC with screen resolution 1440x900. This
resolution is a bit wider than 1024x768 and other resolutions with the
same ratio width/height. The default Gnome desktop background for
Debian Etch is the Debian swirl. Images like the Debian swirl should
not be scaled but zoomed. Replacing "scaled" by "zoom"
in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/debian.xml fixes the problem
for me.
Patch attached.
