Xfce 4.10: where did the backdrops go?

T

tingo

In Xfce 4.8 (and earlier) there was a set of backdrops in /usr/local/share/xfce4/backdrops, like this:
Code: 
root@kg-v2# pkg_info -L xfce4-desktop-4.8.3 | grep backdrops
/usr/local/share/xfce4/backdrops/xfce-in-a-grid.png

But they are missing from Xfce 4.10. Where did they go?
The only ones left are the ones from the misc/xfce4-artwork port, but I do not want those.
 
I'm not really sure where to do that.
I tried googling for the answer, I looked at the Xfce mailing lists and the Xfce forum, but so far I haven't found anything.
 
When I used Fedora, Gnome 2 used to change its background a lot. Since they seemed to get progressively worse I just extracted older RPMs and grabbed the cool (Fedora Core 4) backgrounds from there.

Perhaps you can do the same? Extract packages from 8.0-RELEASE and see if you can find it.

When I became aware of the problem, I saved the backgrounds from one of my existing installations. So I have them.
But it is so much nicer when they are part of a port that I can install on a new machine, years from now.
Anyway, not a big deal.
