[pkg-lxqt-devel] Bug#914345: pcmanfm-qt: the desktop background should be compliant with desktop-base

[Wolfgang Schweer]

Package: pcmanfm-qt
Version: 0.13.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi Alf,

while testing Debian Edu Buster with LXQt, I noticed that the background image
can't be set systemwide w/o tweaking the settings.conf file (and we want to
avoid doing this). While users are free to choose the background image, there
should be a first Debian Edu branded one. 

Running 'update-alternatives --config desktop-theme' allows to choose the
Debian Edu theme as 'active-theme'. For other desktop environments the releated
background image is shown. LXQt is dfferent, but it would be nice if at least
settings.conf could be changed to show the active theme background (same
resolution as lxqt-origami-light.png).
