Well, I’d say it would be better if it were also desktop-neutral.

AFAIK, there is one freedesktop specification for icons [1], but not for
wallpapers, it would be nice to raise this subject on fd.o ml.

I don’t know which package owns /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/, but
apparently it’s not desktop-common-data. I would rather not having to
install gnome packages/kde packages for that.
