This is awesome! I do think it's a bit late in the cycle to
add this in, but this will save us a LOT of work for F11. (I
spent 12 hours redoing the backgrounds all day yesterday and
it was markedly NOT fun)

Does this patch *just* crop or does it resize down too?
otherwise for say 1024x768 you're going to just have one
huge sun. It should probably scale down and crop, right?

I filed a bug for this upstream in GNOME for you, including
your patch:
