i personaly feel confortable with photos found "here and there" on the
web, (my last on is form linuxart.com, strawberries collection, but i
will not suggest it for the "realy red" colors..) but i think that the
RedHat ideas for the background included in the 9beta was not so good:
the default was an insect, so i find that photos are ok if they are
"neutral" (no iceberg in the middle of a frozen sea like windows..)

Another thing that i find confortable with is "rounded angles" in the
lower part of the screen ( panel-corner-(left|right).png, flipped to
stay downside) i usualy paste them on bg, maybe it can be automatized,
or placed on the images in the module..

i find it rather slow on loading images, but maybe it's my laptop..
