With shimmer-wallpapers installed, xfdesktop-settings suffers long freezes completely hogging one core while regenerating a thumbnail list or selecting an SVG image.
The apparent reason is that the present renderer is incapable of handling high-quality SVG files included along with PNG fast enough (it takes 30 second from selection of bluebird-2010-08-xubuntu.svg to changing the wallpaper where PNG change instantly and even Aquarius.svg takes about half of a second).
Same result with some viewers in /usr/share/wallpapers - of course, it would be good to have all viewers and previewers more vector-friendly, but since right now it's not the case, the result is that wallpaper chooser becomes almost unusable.
