Hi everyone! This bug is indeed in progress and will be addressed quite soon. The current wallpaper is NOT the final one. Here is the relevant discussion from a recent #ubuntu-devel IRC log (http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/10/06/%23ubuntu-devel.txt):
[13:00] <Hobbsee> kwwii: is that dreary wallpaper *really* the final one?
[13:00] <kwwii> Hobbsee: no
[13:01] <Hobbsee> kwwii: oh thank goodness. What's the new one like?
[13:01] <Hobbsee> kwwii: and when will it land?
[13:01] <kwwii> Hobbsee: it is one that everybody loves :p
[13:01] <kwwii> Hobbsee: asap

Sounds like it might be https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Artwork/ Incoming/ Intrepid/ Earthenibex_ wallpaper or a derivation thereof. Thanks everyone for expression your desires and opinions; it definitely has an impact with Ubuntu.
