Tried that, and no options, but I had Debian running on the other machine, and 
rebooted to FC2, and on that /usr/share/backgrounds/images/default.png shows 
the dark blue background with text in white in the top write hand corner. I 
tried the same path on the machine with the problem, and now have the dark 
blue background, but with no text. All a bit weird, and can't understand how 
saving a screenshot with the Gimp has changed my background without asking 
permission.

Anyway. I know I'm running FC2, so it's no big deal, just damned annoying to 
have lost the Fedora core 2 text on the background.
