  Setting the Grub background with the kcm-grub2, package kde-config-
  grub2.

  The  grub screen is having the background image.

  Upgrading the grub-common and the grub-pc to the 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu2 or
  to the 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3. The grub screen is low resolution (640x480
  ?) black&white text screen without the background image.

  The /boot/grub/grub.cfg is having:
  ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###
  insmod part_msdos
  insmod ext2
  set root='(/dev/sda,msdos1)'
  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 81cbc603-629b-415a-a21d-0f9b152e2b2a
  insmod png
  if background_image /usr/share/wallpapers/Horos/contents/images/1920x1200.png; then
    true
  else
    set menu_color_normal=white/black
    set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray
    if background_color 0,71,115; then
      clear
    fi
  fi
  ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###

  but the grub does not use the background image.
