Fedora 20 Swastika

[Michał Piotrowski]

Hi,

If you suggest to someone that this wallpaper looks like a swastika - it
might look so.

When I look at this image and I don't think about swastika I don't see it.
It's just a power of suggestion - nothing more from my POV.

(And yeah, I live in country where we take such things seriously. There is
only 24 km from my living place to Oświęcim
