Yeah, I guess we should setup some alioth project + mailing list, and
maybe an irc channel (#debian-desktop ?)

yes, we have a xfce4-artwork package with some wallpaper.

I don't really know if we should have one common wallpaper for all
environnments. If we had a common template with (for example) the logo
of each environmment, wouldn't it be better ?

Yeah, I guess we should find some time to discuss this, but I don't
really know who is online at the moment and when do we have free-time.
There are currently 3 greatly implicated members in pkg-xfce (Emanuele
Rocca, Simon Huggins and me, with some other members which may be happy
to participate). For the schedule, we are all three of us from Europe
(but ema is in holidays :) )
Sorry for the noise.
