I got word from lihualiu, the author of the proposed default wallpaper.
Unfortunately he is not interested in further work, but supplied me with
the original project file, which is a photoshop project. The flame is
found on the internet, but I haven't asked from where exactly. So, all
in all, I'm a little reluctant to use this as the default wallpaper
right now.
