Hi Javi -

   I did the desktop background image for the Live.. I use another  
non-free product to do it..
I dont know what the answer is about GIMP. I dont know how to use  
GIMP and the few times I
have tried it, I dont like it very much.. so I will not be doing new  
artwork in GIMP just because it is
free software...

   You know that the OSGeo compass variations are in osgeo svn
The type is just ordinary type, and the background is just a lots of  
brush and paint work using ordinary tools.

best regards from Berkeley, California
