This brings up the most important question: What is the purpose of the
background in Fedora?
Users can find tons of neutral backgrounds on the net and switch if they
like (and I believe they do it) but I believe that for background in
Fedora the most important function is to carry a message!
The purpose of the *default* background in Fedora is to be usable
(un-intrusive, comfortable to look at) and easily recognizable (having a
"Fedora" feel).
I am quite new to this mail list so this might have been discussed
before but I think that there is no reason why F13 shouldn't be shipped
with several different backgrounds, they should all stick to specific
theme (or carry the same message) but should be variable enough so that
different people will find some.
This is what we tried for F12: a default image (abstract, usable,
simple, blue) and a number of additional images trying to cater to
different audiences. Read for reference:

AFAIK, the plan is still holding for F13.
