The Dapper Splash was introduced very late in the cycle, because we just
weren't hapy with the previous version. The new ideas in there, the
glassiness combined with the tan gradient, seemed to work so well that I
very much would have liked to update the gnome login screen with similar
texture and feel.

So, ideally for me, we would use the Dapper Splash as a kind of "anchor
point" and aim to have a login, and desktop wallpaper, that fit well
with that.

Of course, if during the proposal stage someone comes up with a look
that is much nicer than that then we should go with that, but for the
moment I most like the ideas embodied in there.
