Thanks a lot for the background. Indeed it blends in great with one of the stock blue backgrounds such as Felicia.

BTW, is it possible to change the background on the device using the command line?

Too bad.

Its true; this would greatly enhance some nice possibilities to do on the tablet.

On GNOME you can select a XML. In the XML you can define various things, such as your location (to load a background related to the location, or a map of the location), a (favourite) person who lives near there, you can select a background based on the time or weather (so it blends in with the environment). Or just at random.

In E17 you can even have a moving background.

How should such be achieved in Maemo? Via DBus?

That caption has been in my head ever since someone said that the picture was creepy, I looked at it again trying to see what was creepy about it...

In self-defence, I'm not the first to think this...
