hmm, who dicided the wallpapers in Ubuntu always must have brown-tones. 
Africa is a colourfull country like every country is. :) Orange Icons fits 
well with white, blue, yellow , brown and dark-tones. Fedora is making almost 
all in blue-tones. But the Linux-User would appreciate more a Linux-
Distributor who cover all colour-palettes, so the Themes haves diferent 
colours, too. And with the most Themes the brown-tones don't fit in the easy 
way. I like the Ubuntu-Wallpapers-Artwork, but I never use it ... maybe it's 
because I don't like the colour brown as background.

PS: Thorsten, best wishes and thanks for all what you did right now. It's a 
great pitty that finially nobody can check out the render-script with the 
gthumb-implantation.
