Whatever happend to that awesome guitar screen which was in (2.2) trunk for 
roughly one day and got removed due to possible copyright infringements 
(incompatible license it was, I think)? 

Now that was an awesome spash screen. :)

On a side note, I agree that the top left image suits your style and it looks 
good. On a more personal preference (if that matters, I'm just a humble end-
user and not a developer), I dislike styles/images/artwork where stuff looks 
like it has been just pasted into it. The characters don't seem to fit in 
really well with the background. Especially the guy (or girl) with the guitar 
in the middle just seems to "be there" and happily float around a bit. A stage 
or something would have made more sense to me. </personal note>
