Yeah, in absence of any other solution (Ryan's idea with the wallpaper
overlay could work too), I think this is a decent approach. We could fork
the Activities Configurator extention to show the Fedora Workstation logo
(and perhaps the words "Fedora Workstation") if fedora-release-workstation
is installed, and the Fedora infinity logo (and "Fedora") if it's not.

Absolutely. We want to align technology and effort with upstream as best we
can, but our goals (and therefore needs) aren't dictated by upstream, and
sometimes they will diverge. A _cosmetic_ change like this isn't a big
divergence in any way — but *is* a big deal for Fedora.
