Background icon hard to understand

Background Icon is hard to understand. "It looks like a tiny drawer is overlayed over the monitor" is what Suz perceived the icon to be. We suggest having a simple monitor with a background suggesting an image, and a simple window open on the desktop to differentiate it from the screensaver icon. Also, the monitor doesn't look very much like most monitors, it looks more like a Mac Classic or an iMac (rounded edges, no stand, big area for buttons), but that is a minor gripe. The paintbucket isn't a bad idea, but it would be better to have it a little larger. We suggest having a simpler monitor (buttons on the face etc are extraneous) that looks more "right" shapewise, with a flower background (tigert's daisy background would work nicely), and perhaps a simple window floating above it, and a large drippy paint-bucket in front of the monitor.
I'm pretty much sure this talks about the old icon. This one should be ok: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/ikony/i31/wallpaper2.png
