What's needed is a symlink for the default.jpg location from what was
in F7 fedora-logos to one of the static infinity images for a default.
Probably worth putting a bug in against fedora-logos and/or
desktop-backgrounds-basic. One or the other needs to provide the
default.jpg location.

The "animation" is time based and is meant to change roughly once an
hour to mimic changes in ambient light. But I don't think its meant to
be the default, since its the first time we're making use of the
feature.
