+- Drop gnome-backgrounds Recommends: the KDE team is unhappy that
+  we try to install an error free GNOME desktop. The requirement
+  is no longer very important though, as glib2-branding-openSUSE
+  adds an override file, setting the lockscreen wallpaper to a
+  openSUSE branded one. Thus, only users of the upstream branding
+  package will be hit badly.
