[ubuntu-art] First idea ...

[Ravi Shanker]

I agree, you put a good point. Atleast, we should have some wallpapers
which reveals the brand Ubuntu without the text or logo of Ubuntu.
Playing Ubuntu Color specs, and some good idea/pic/illustrations. we can
have not just one wallpaper. There should be many official wallpaper
collections in Ubuntu, and Gnome Wallpaper changer should have a module
and preference to fetch the wallpaper(new archives) from the repo.
