Well, I'm beeing pragmatic on this. There are a lot of DEs, some simpler than other. If their maintainer is interested in having the branding, they can work on their packages to have them support the common stuff (like picking the wallpaper from /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-background). > I also agree with Sune that > removing desktop-base should remove all branding.

Not really, you just have to put configuration file in the right place. When the DE supports freedesktop.org standards, that's easy, you just have to put it at the right place in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR. For Xfce we do that by patching, but we could explore new ways to do that, by exporting XDG_CONFIG_DIR before starting X (in /etc/X11/Xsessions.d for example). > > On desktop-base, I think it is completely the wrong name for the > package and we should use debian-branding-* packages instead or > somethink like Ubuntu's naming scheme. I have to admit I don't care at all. The package is installed by default, may be recommended by DE packages interested in Debian branding. I'm fine with the desktop-base name :0 Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
