It's been the intention all along that at least the Desktop spin will
get the stripes artwork (which is actually a subtle compromise between
the F15 theme and the upstream stripes, IIRC - it's got a little birdy
in it), as requested by the desktop team in that big brouhaha a while
back. The fact that we were getting the 'pure' F15 artwork in the
desktop spin for a while was actually a bug.

I'm not entirely clear on what's supposed to happen if you install from
the DVD, I don't know which artwork you're 'meant' to get in that case
(and indeed if design and desktop teams agree on that...) I know for
sure that if you use a non-desktop live image, or pick a desktop other
than GNOME for a DVD or network install, you're meant to get the F15
artwork.
