Default background

[Andreas Nilsson <nisses mail home se>]

Hi all!
So, our current default background is still some solid blueish color. 
That kinds of sucks. :)
There has been lots, and lots, and lots of discussing back and forth on 
#gnome-art regarding what we should use instead, and we really didn't 
get anywhere.

A couple of days ago Garrett sent me a bunch of macro-nature-shots that 
he said we can use [1]. One particular photo [2] seemed to play very 
nice together with the clearlooks theme and makes the interfaces stand 
out very well (and hence produce great screenshots). It's also green and 
follows the nature theme we discussed at guadec (and the summit before 
that).

I was thinking of using the colors and base shapes from the photo to 
create a more abstract background, but all my attempts failed miserably.
So, as we're running out of time and we need to start produce 
screenshots for the release notes, does anyone object using garretts 
photo as a default background for this release? We can bring up the 
discussion for what we are going to do for 2.22 as soon as we have this 
release out of the door, but for now, in my role as "art 
director/dictator" I say we go for this [3].
