Bug Description

Binary package hint: wallpaper-tray

Upstream is already up to version 0.5.5 of this essential utility, but the Ubuntu package in Hardy is still only 0.4.6-5. Since the current Ubuntu packages contains many minor functionality bugs, it would be nice to be in sync to upstream before reporting them, as they may already be fixed in the latest release.

Its a very easy build--I could do a .deb if that is what is needed--Current .55 includes several fixes including removing it from the notifications area--which is a real plus with so many new apps now in that area.

There have been lots of upstream changes since the last debian package so the diff from debian if pretty large. Also as it is now a panel applet, it took a patch from svn to be able to install it to the right location.

Packages for Intrepid and Jaunty are in my PPA for testing.

THANK YOU Andrew!!! I was in the process of building it to upload to my PPA---I'm sure that you have done a better job of it than I was doing ;)--I had made a package to install it on my system, but was running into problems with getting a clean pbuilder run.....
