Hm.  That would imply that there is a file or setting somewhere that
controls this.  That one could replace the file or alter the setting without
having to install an alternative desktop.  This (
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_change_the_USplash_Screen_when_you_boot_or_shutdown_the_computer)
section of the Ubuntu:Feisty wiki talks about configuring the usplash, but
it only goes so far as to allow you to pick which splash from those
installed to use.
