[mate-bg] Do not add timeout for one-slide slideshows

2012-12-17T07:17:20+00:00

If a slideshow is made of only one slide, then there's no animation. So
we just override the duration of the slide to G_MAXUINT, and we do not
add timeouts for such durations.

[mate-bg] Cache resized wallpaper to help CPU at startup

2012-12-17T07:17:16+00:00

Resized and transformed wallpapers are stored in ~/.cache/wallpaper/.
The cache is refreshed for each new current wallpaper depending on the
resolution or transformation, and each time the source image is
refreshed.

The source image format is preserved.

[mate-bg] minor cleanup/fix

2012-12-17T05:22:44+00:00

unref pixbuf cache when *either* width *or* height change

[mate-bg] cleanup, refactor, plug possible X client leak(s)

Part of the original code (from gnome-desktop) for setting root pixmap seems very
similar to, and may have been adapted from common source:
http://people.debian.org/~lunar/xwpset.c

The original concept all dates back to an Eterm/Esetroot technique that became
commonly used (ex. xchat) for window transparency over desktop:
http://www.eterm.org/docs/view.php?doc=ref#trans

Wisdom can be gained from studying various similar implementations. Examples:
https://github.com/derf/feh/blob/master/src/wallpaper.c
http://ag.cs.uvic.ca/static/debian5/sources/blackbox_0.70.1/blackbox-0.70.1.orig/util/bsetroot.cc
http://files.minuslab.net/SetBG.cc

The changes should hopefully help avoid this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681928
and consequences as these: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680356

[mate-bg|schema] add "background-fade" setting, and define the key in header

2012-12-03T12:50:29+00:00

to make the fading effect optional, either when caja or m-s-d is drawing the bg.
This is hopefully useful for those running on older hardware, as the fading
effect could delay login/startup a bit.

For reference, see:

[mate-bg] prefix defines BG_KEY's w/ MATE & move from .c to .h

2012-12-03T12:37:53+00:00

and define "show-desktop-icons" here too, to be used by Caja & m-s-d
