Bug#743810: libcogl20: Visual artifacts in gnome shell activities view

Thu Apr 10 08:52:57 UTC 2014

This bug seems to be related to the use of the debian default desktop
background (wallpaper). I love it, so I never tried to change it…

Using gnome-tweak-tool I realized that the path for the default
wallpaper is /usr/share/images/desktop-base/joy.xml The XML points to
four different SVGs for different screen resolutions.

When I use gnome-tweak-tool to
choose /usr/share/images/desktop-base/joy-wallpaper_1920x1080.svg
directly I can't reproduce this issue. The same applies to using any
other SVG, PNG oder JPG I tried.

I can reproduce this issue simply by changing the path for the desktop
background to /usr/share/images/desktop-base/joy.xml again.

For now I'm going to reassign this bug to desktop-base.
