Re: GNOME Backgrounds Revamp

[Thomas Wood <thos gnome org>]

The 2.13.5 tarballs are due tomorrow, which incorporates the feature 
freeze. With this in mind, I would like to get the new set of 
backgrounds settled before I make the release tomorrow night. I've 
attached a screenshot showing all the backgrounds I'm going to put in 
for the 2.14 release.

I'm CC'ing the authors of 'Pebble Beach' (Chris Kempson) and 'Fresh 
Flower' (Jens Ansorg) for their comments and permission to include their 
work in the package. The yellow flower was a photograph from Garrett, 
who has already expressed his permission for it to be included. The 
nature shots where chosen because they were of high quality, and offered 
a range of colours (red, blue and yellow).

Some people may comment on the fact I have taken out all the previous 
tiles, but I felt that Andreas' ones looked more consistent and 
professional, as well as fun. Mixing and matching the old with the new 
just gave an unprofessional inconsistent feel about the collection. The 
old tiles will of course still be available in the old tarballs!

The GNOME foot translucent background was from Jakub, with translucent 
modifications by Lapo. I need comments from both about permission.

If anyone has any objections or comments, please let me know sooner 
rather than later!
