Hi,

The background image is not set properly for 2 of the desktop environments (KDE
and LXDE). The other desktop environment look ok.

Seen on openQA: https://openqa.debian.net/tests/overview?distri=debian-
edu&version=trixie&build=20261112&groupid=11

The test is running trixie + proposed-updates (debian-edu-artwork-ceratopsian
2.13.6-1~deb13u1)

See the edu-trixie-preview-standalone-XXX jobs, at the end in
_graphical_wait_login:
KDE: a black background
LXDE: the LXDE bird

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus

Hi Rolandm

When installing LXDE in a Debian Edu environment, I get the correct bg
image (attached).

So, as openQA tests the standalone installation, we need to search
into that direction, I assume.

Hi Roland,

When installing a combi server (Main-Server + LTSP-Server) with
desktop=xfce, I get the Xfce-default background image, not the Debian
Edu default one.

See attached image.

The Debian Edu background image stays on screen at login for a little
while but then switches to Xfce's bg image.

When looking into
~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml, I see a
file that resembles upstream's default xfce4-desktop.xml.

However, in desktop-base we ship a file that should get used as HOME
config template imho (see in
/usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/xdg-config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/).

Unsure how to proceed regarding my observation of bgimage not being
Debian Edu branded on TJENER. Hmmm... (Not a release blocker!)

Hi Roland

Also KDE/Plasma background looks good on a machine installed via PXE
in the Debian Edu network. Screenshot attached.
