I think having the default as the simple background is probably the better 
option, but I agree. I think we are targeting two types of users.

The "I just want things to work" users who want nothing more than a working 
system. I sympathise with them as when I deploy a new installation on 40 user's 
machines, the last thing I want is someone complaining about not being able to 
find their icons.

But we also have the "shiny shiny shiny" users who want the wow factor.

Unfortunately reviewers are in the later category and all they look for is new 
"shinies". The number one complaint they usually have is that each distro is 
just like the another one. I think it is important to allow them to pimp out 
their desktop very easily and make each release look and feel new and unique.

It should be a case similar to compiz, make it off by default but installed and 
trivial to turn on. (perhaps space becomes an issue)

I predict that within hours of the release there will be blog entries with 
guides on getting the lion background.
