Screenshot of all 4 virtual desktops in Compiz- killed off nautilus's desktop in order to have multiple wallpapers.

No idea if screenshots desaturated looking; I set compiz to desaturate colors slightly to compensate for my monitor's tendency to oversaturate them,

Ah, those Disney Sith Princess image. Always fun.

As for mine, I took it off The World's Finest Mask of the Phantasm 15th Anniversery wallpaper page:

http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/ba ... 021280.jpg

I had to resize it and thus have the black horizontal bars like Agent Fisher because the sizes they had don't play nice with my resolution. :(
