It's a bug. The desktop configuration script
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession SHOULD have changed the compiz and gconf
configuration in order to take into account a changed location of the
wallpaper, but apparently, I ruined it because it checks the wrong
timestamp, thus falling back to the default wallpaper. Needs to be fixed
for the next release, definitely.
You can always find a copy of the original wallpaper in
/mnt-system/KNOPPIX/background.jpg as well as /usr/local/lib/knoppix.jpg
(or png, depending on the version).

If you set the desired wallpaper once in the desktop configuration, it
should be kept. The wrong initial setting is (hopefully) only set once,
after flash installation, while further configs are saved correctly
afterwards.

I had trouble with some 4 and 8 GB SD cards on the eeepc 701, apparently
some of the older cardreaders can damage SDHC cards. Using a Non-SDHC
card helped. There is also additional tuning possible for the 701 in
order to use the small display more efficiently, but compiz works
out-of-the-box there. :-)

Happy to hear that. :-)

It's already 10 years now, and I still try to catch up with the current
develpments on the Linux desktop, which is very exciting for me. :-)
