Yes, the default Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 wallpaper is a blue pattern, not a
wet grey foot any more. But it also depends on how you installed
GNOME.

GNOME Classic looks quite a bit different than GNOME; GNOME Classic is
made to look more like GNOME 2. GNOME on Wayland currently doesn't
work with lightdm (LP: #1632772) but Ubuntu GNOME uses gdm3 by
default.

It's probably easiest to just install Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 in your VM
instead of trying to add GNOME to your Ubuntu 17.04 install. Of
course, 17.10 will be a bit different…

Yes, there are advantages to doing that.

Thank you,
