Oops.  I may have broken the LCD display while smudging my greasy 
fingers on the screen -- but I haven't been out to California for a 
while now.

There are several other backgrounds in the default background folder -- 
including a few new ones this release.  Hopefully you will enjoy those.  
They're located in desktop-backgrounds-extra and you can change them by 
right-clicking on the background and selecting "Change Desktop 
Background".  Click on "default.png" next to the lightbulb and a file 
selection dialog will pop-up allowing you to select a new one.

You can rest assured that Fedora Core 2 will have a different background.
