I don't use the desktop for icons, it's just the background for apps.
IMO any user should add a wallpaper her/him self.

When doing artwork I often prefer a decent two colour gradient. For
making music it shouldn't be loud too. At the moment I'm using the
Edubuntu (perhaps Ubuntu) default for Maverick, I'll call it a tree in a
ubuntu-coloured landscape.

Btw. I'm tiered, it took the whole night to tidy up my HDDs and now I
need to make some lightscribe art for the Natty install DVD. Or is there
already something I could use? I guess I simply use the logo
http://ubuntustudio.org/themes/ubuntustudio/logo.png and add the release
version. If it should take longer than 5 minutes, I guess I'll drop
off ;). I might just as well use a marker, but I like such details,
perhaps a neurosis.
