how eliminate canned wallpaper?

"gnome-appearance-properties" is part of the "[GNOME] control-center" 
package. That package does not come with any wallpaper.

The packages that *do* comee with wallpaper (assuming you only have GNOME 
installed - vs. GNOME & KDE, XFCE.....) include 

	desktop-backgrounds-basic

	gnome-backgrounds
& the
	leonidas-backgrounds*

		packages.

Do a search for them with yum, packagekit, or yumex and remove any or all 
of them that you may have installed and your system wallpapers shouuld be 
gone.

Personally, I like them, but most of the ones I use are also found 
elsewhere and I just keep them in ~/Pictures/backgrounds.
