I wouldn't mind for once having a desktop that I don't have to change the
background. I think SUSE did a great job for a while and as soon
as you logged in you were impressed. Ubuntu on the other hand is a different
story. I spend way too much time removing the turd look.

The dark color looks nice but it would last about 10 seconds and I'd have to
find another background. Maybe a better solution is to have a series
of higher quality backgrounds included. Most Distros and desktops include a
set of backgrounds but they're all a bit pale or washed out. We need
an XFCE background competition! :-) I'm not sure what marketing study was
done but it seems that every distribution wants to be blue. Ubuntu is
bucking
this trend but not necessarily in a good way.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use
Windows."
Now they have two problems.
