Mageia2: Mageia Desktop Images?

When I installed Mageia 2 from the Gnome LiveCD this morning, there was a nice Mageia desktop image, IIRC. But then I clicked on the Background control panel (System Settings -> Personal -> Background) and now the only options that I see are the boring, generic desktop images.

What happened? Was I imagining the Mageia desktop or was it really there? How can I restore the desktop image that was there before the boring, generic desktop images?

Yeah, that's nice - Thanks, Doktor!

Why hasn't the offending artwork been replaced (via an update to the package that contained it)? It seems simple enough to me...

Huh? Maybe you missed the title and the second half of that post?
Title says:
We are replacing Mageia 2 background image

Fixing it

We have now talked with the original artist, and he has been kind enough to relicense his artwork and its derivative for use by Mageia. This means that those of us who have installed from the original Mageia 2 ISOs are not in breach of his copyright.

However, we are rebuilding the ISOs, including the Credits, to include his original artwork – which is beautiful! – and building updates to the necessary rpms. So if people download the rebuilt ISOs they will be getting the properly-licensed artwork, and if you have already installed Mageia 2, your system will be updated automatically. We will also include the updates in Cauldron.
