So in short. I believe both Scientific Linux and CentOS have to change the default background.
That's pretty much what I had come up with as well, and CentOS-6 will indeed have different wallpapers.
Having said that - if anyone wants to create new / alternative wallpaper's, feel free to do so and submit them up via bugs.centos.org; no reason why we cant have multiple options!
I just submitted a couple of wallpapers for consideration, I thought maybe I should send an email so folks can comment or whatever you do with this sort of thing.
The first one is: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4699 an the 2nd one is: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4700
The first one has a textured (pattern) and the 2nd one is the same thing with the pattern made 'invisible'. I created a separate jpg of both. The Gimp xcf file is 14.5mb, and I can easily make minor modifications. They're both the same size as the 'default' wallpaper in CentOS 5.5, i.e. 2048 x 1536 px.
I'm not a pro, but I rather like the result. I even had it sitting on my LMDE desktop for a few hours (on a 19" 1440x900 Acer lcd monitor).
