Hi Anh -
Thanks for the suggestion. It's hard to come up with a background
image that's more or less acceptable to all people. I think Ubuntu
actually does a fairly good job of this - creating an image that's both
visually interesting, but not so distracting that it's hard to focus on
actual work.
I hope that we'll have a chance to look into alternative wallpaper
images before Debathena is deployed across the clusters, but until then,
you can change your personal wallpaper by right clicking on the desktop
and choosing "Change desktop background..."
