Comment 64 for bug 625193

This entire thread brings up some interesting questions. Such as:

- Launchpad may not be the place to complain about ugly default wallpaper, since it's not technically a bug, it's a feature - but where else is there to complain about it?
- Why does it seem like the first reaction of Ubuntu devs to the negative criticism of this wallpaper (and also to the placement of the window buttons in the last release) was to (a) throw out the CoC and (b) act as if it was the "developer tribe" vs. the "horde of unwashed users," instead of just acknowledging that there was a problem? Why did end users essentially have to scream and shout and stomp their feet before they get taken seriously? (Add the reaction to OMG! Ubuntu's posters on the Ayatana mailing list discussion from September entitled "The new default wallpaper" as more evidence of this.)
- Who was responsible for creating the wallpaper?
- Why isn't there any mention of the (mostly negative) reaction to the wallpaper on the Canonical Design site?
