The Xsplash I'm talking about is called PackoXsplash HD and comes in two versions:
To install it, simply extract the archive to
/usr/share/images/xsplash
(make sure you open Nautilus as root, by using the following command: gksu nautilus
).Of course, you can also use one of the images in the archive (the one suited for your screen resolution) as your wallpaper.
