The only sad thing is that the version number is stamped into a lot of
these images.  I'd like a scalable image with no version number
requirement :-).  Or at least, I run 4.0 on my development machines and
would like a splash screen for them (especially since they are notebooks
and I tend to tote them around and show them to people).

Did that FreeBSD desktop theme contest ever get back off the ground?
