Comment (by hamish):

 argh bloody server reset and logged me out (twice!) and now I have to
 retype this. well I can't be bothered retyping the whole thing, but quick
 recap:

  - desktop icons are now more sane. It will need more work, I just made my
 best guesses as to where things should go. I definitely think we should do
 a menu as well. See the 2.0 disc and install_qgis.sh for the existing
 Applications->Science->Geoscience menu. I think we should clone from
 there, not move from there.

  - my 2c vote is for a modified version of the background added a couple
 of weeks ago. (it's not just the saturation, it's the busy-ness of it) -
 see attached samples (not sure if it will let me attach the 2mb gimp
 .xcf.bz2)
  - we should provide a vanilla osgeo clean slate, it should be up to
 conference organizers to provide their own (completed) background file
 with whatever conference logo, name/date/place, sponsors, etc they want,
 if they want.
  - we should keep the help icon on the main desktop & IMO keep it as the
 wombat roadsign. it works; the sign icon says "look here".
  - the green planet one reminds me of brain surgery. It's hard to put my
 finger on it, but the symmetry and glowing green are probably partly to
 blame.
  - my # 2 fav. is the blue dotted continents one, but if we go with that
 we should crop out the corner and run it through gdalwarp to get a better
 map projection ;)  (and put the word "OSGeo" on it somewhere)
  - the download page needs to go back to being titles as OSGeo Live DVD
 Downloads; Arramagong is a specific name of one release we make/made and
 that site hosts; not the name of the live-demo project in whole, osgeo-
 edu's work, etc.
