RHBA-2010:0311 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated redhat-artwork packages that remove unnecessary duplicate images
are now available.

Description

redhat-artwork contains artwork for the default look and feel of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.

This update addresses the following issues:

• in the previous release, the directory used to store images for use by

the KDE Display Manager -- /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/RHEL/ -- contained
images also present in the directory used by the GNOME Display Manager --
/usr/share/gdm/themes/RHEL/ (GNOME is the default desktop environment for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux). For this release, these duplicates were removed
and replaced with symlinks to the images in /usr/share/gdm/themes/RHEL/.
This reduces the redhat-artwork package's size slightly with no effect on
functionality. (BZ#485978)

• as well, /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/RHEL/ also contained Red Hat

trademarked images that are (and should only be) included in the
redhat-logos package. For this update, these trademarked images were
removed from redhat-artwork. When a Red Hat trademarked image is displayed,
such images are always assumed to be in directories below /usr/share/ other
than /usr/share/apps/, so this removal also has no effect on functionality.
(BZ#485978)

Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues.
