I have opened it once, but always kept the "default" grey Ubuntu
background. On booting up today after doing an apt-get upgrade yesterday,
several half-naked people appeared on my desktop, apparently as the new
default background. Now, I do not mind half-naked or even naked people as
a background, but I'd appreciate it if an upgrade didn't change personal
user settings such as the background.

I have switched it to the brown Ubuntu background (Ubuntu Default Desktop)
which I think would make an excellent default background for new
installations and fits more with the Human theme in terms of colour. But I
would recommend not suddenly changing the background without the user
explicitely agreeing with that.
