Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Gnome panel has an Easter Egg of the animated GEGL (a 5 legged goat). This animation seems to be corrupted on Karmic.

To view the bug, right click on an empty region on the gnome panel and select Properties. Then right click 3 times on either of the General or Background tabs. A new GEGL tab appears with an animated 5 legged goat. However, at least one of the animation frames seems to be corrupted. Not really a critical bug, but it would be interesting to know why it's broken and if it can be fixed.

Attached is a screen shot of the corruption

Perhaps we should consider to remove these GNOME "easter eggs".

Just shows you that the GNOME devs can't even get a simple easter egg right !!

I'm with Tiago, we should remove this broken feature - also it will save space for the LiveCD.
