+1 for multiple colors (all over the rainbow) for more choice.  I'm cool with 
defaults, but the stock wallpapers in Feisty seem pretty old.

Please note that I am in no way an artist, and have absolutely nothing to add 
to this discussion but criticism and suggestion.  Please consider or 
disregard my comments and suggestions accordingly.  Artists seem like the 
obvious people who should be driving this discussion, not folks like me who 
have no graphical talents in any way shape or form.  But I do like pretty 
pictures.
