The page describes that the feature is not currently supported via GUI but can be achieved with use of "override". Is this right? If so, I have added a note on the page that explains the same. (905 bytes, patch)

Description Matthias Clasen 2013-02-24 07:32:46 UTC
We don't support lock screen backgrounds different from the desktop background currently. This will probably be available again at some point, but it isn't right now. Probably best to comment out this topic for now.
Comment 1 Sindhu S 2013-02-24 08:08:59 UTC
Could you please elaborate on which section you wanted commented out? Am unable to find it in session-screenlocks.page (which seems to be closest from what you are describing).

Thanks!

This entire topic: http://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/lockscreenbackground.html.en
Comment 3 Aruna Sankaranarayanan 2013-03-07 13:50:37 UTC
But lockscreenbackground.page has just that one topic. So, commenting it out would leave an empty page.

Instead, can't we add a note(style="bug") to say that screen backgrounds different from the desktop background cannot be locked currently?

Updated patch.

Previous patch was not correct.

Review of attachment 238306 [details] [review]:

It would be more appropriate to delete this page altogether because the help should reflect the release of GNOME that it is released alongside. When the setting is brought back, the instructions are likely to be completely different, so there is not much point stubbing the page.

Remember to remove the page from Makefile.am when it is deleted.

Kat, done as asked. Please review and confirm if I should commit to master.

8:58 PM <kittykat> ingu: for bug 694562, did you check the links?
9:06 PM <ingu> kittykat: 694562 you mean what other pages link to the *.page i have deleted right?
9:07 PM <ingu> kittykat: if a page does link to the deleted page, what should I do? remove the link code?
9:08 PM <kittykat> ingu: remove the link and rewrite the sentence so that it doesn't mention the background

Checked with a grep on pages that link to lockscreenbackground.page

 C git:(del-page) grep -R lockscreenbackground .
./lockscreenbackground.page:      id="lockscreenbackground">
  C git:(del-page) grep -nri "lockscreenbackground" .
./lockscreenbackground.page:3:      id="lockscreenbackground">

There seems to be no other page that links to this page. 

So the patch uploaded is OK to commit to master I think, please confirm.
Thanks.

You can also check links using 'yelp-check links <…>/*.page' :)
