Firstboot is written in python so you don't have to download the SRPM 
(you would probably want to download the SRPM if you were going to 
submit a patch though.) You can look at the source of firstboot on a 
Fedora system by looking in /usr/share/firstboot/modules and searching 
through the file for the screen you're interested in. You're interested 
in the welcome screen so open up /usr/share/firstboot/modules/welcome.py 
and grep around for 'png':

title_pix = functions.imageFromFile("workstation.png")

I think this means it's /usr/share/firstboot/pixmaps/workstation.png (my 
guess based on the top of /usr/share/firstboot/functions.py). (Note I'm 
doing this on an FC5 system, the exact path in FC6 may be different...) 
If the path is different from /usr/share/firstboot/pixmaps I think it 
will show the full path (e.g., from timezone.py 'self.icon = 
functions.imageFromPath("/usr/share/system-config-date/pixmaps/system-config-date.png"'))
