moko bug, similar problems in every applet that uses moko in hardy. The wallpaper list is there as usual, but the moko makes it invisible.

This works well with the moko update: 0.1-24. And the background applet has been completely revamped for easier access:

  * Background Applet Upgrades

  * Vast improvement of the load time for the backgrounds applet
    it now takes 29 seconds to load 3275 images, which means that
    the average user's 200 images would take's under 2 seconds.
  * Changed the background loading scheme. It no longer looks at
    thumbnails from moblin-media, it looks at the media/photo
    path independantly and reads in the images from scratch. This
    has proven to be much faster.
  * Image loading now happens in four phases:
       1: the directories are read and a list of images created.
          this is done in a separate thread so the user can still
          access the GUI, change the background color, and exit
       2: the images are listed in the dialog w filenames only
          the dialog is innaccessible during this brief phase, which
          for 4000 photos is a fraction of a second.
       3: the thumbnails are generated from the image files. this
          is done in another separate thread so that the user can
          access the dialog without thumbnails until they are ready
       4: the thumbnails are added to the list. the dialog is
          innaccessible during this brief phase but, like phase2,
          it takes a fraction of a second since it's all in RAM.
