I think that is very close to what we are trying to do with "Wallpaper 
Extras" - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/Wallpaper_Extras - the 
plan there is to gather as many as possible images from the larger 
community and figure out a way to select some which we think are both 
good and diverse. But our project is currently in hiatus, needing some 
coordination (and I have my share of guilt, I have a large number of 
photos which can be uploaded but was lazy lately)

 From the Microsoft collection, I think some images are really bad from 
an usability point of view, much worse than our lion head.

I still think a much better and useful thing would be to have the old 
"background channels" idea from clarkbw, but populated with Free images:
