I usually don't blog about uploads to the Debian archive but since I don't know any similar software in Debian I do in this case.
nitrogen is a wallpaper selection and setting tool with both a graphical (with image preview) and text based frontend to set wallpapers and restore them later.
That's nothing special, there are some tools doing that.
But nitrogen also provides great multihead and xinerama support and is the only tool in the archive I know that is able to set different wallpapers to different monitors!

From the description:

nitrogen is a graphical wallpaper utility that can be used in two
modes, browser and recall.
Some of the things to look for in nitrogen are:
.
- Multihead and Xinerama support (setting different wallpapers for each monitor)
- Recall mode to restore wallpapers via startup script
- Uses freedesktop.org standard for thumbnails
- Can set GNOME background
- Command line set modes for script usage
- Inotify monitoring of browsed directories

A lot of people start throwing mud in the direction of Debian and especially the maintainer of openssl because of high impact security issue that was released today: DSA-1571.

Please notice that this was indeed discussed in 2006 with the openssl people before patching the package and it was an openssl.org guy who ACKed this patch after the maintainer asked for their opinion. So please stop blaming random people. Thanks!
Such things happen, so better use your time to fix your systems instead



UPDATE: people complaining about the "fact" that the "wrong" list was used to contact the openssl people, please read this
