Bug Description

Binary package hint: wally

Description: Qt4 wallpaper changer
 Wally is a Qt4 wallpaper changer using multiple sources like files,
 folders, FTP remote folders, Flickr, Yahoo!, Panoramio, Pikeo, Ipernity,
 Photobucket, Buzznet, Picasa and Smugmug images. It is available in many
 languages. Supported Linux window managers are GNOME, KDE 3, KDE 4, Xfce 4,
 BlackBox, FluxBox, Window Maker, and FVWM.

After reading this I still do not know what this thing is or why I would want to have it. Additionally the start of the first description line essentially duplicates the synopsis. It would be way easier to read if bullet point lists were used rather than incredibly long sentences. The fact that it is available in many languages is not really important, since it does not list in *which* languages it is available. Finally neither GNOME nor KDE 3 nor KDE 4 nor XFCE are window managers, they are desktop environments of one kind or another with KWin or Metacity as actual window managers. That said the last sentence does nothing but confuse me, since the package is about wallpapers and I have no idea how a *window* manager relates to *wallpapers*. Since the final sentence lists all popular options in that category anyway, I do not find it very useful either.
