Description Gabor Kelemen 2012-09-05 19:26:56 UTC 
The new Stamps background image[1] includes a stamp in the bottom right corner, which depicts[2] Josip Broz Tito[3].
Maybe it's not the best idea to include a wallpaper with a picture of an ex-dictator, even if it's "only a stamp".

Dictator replaced.
Comment 4 Josh Hancock 2012-09-10 16:16:27 UTC 
That's not sufficient. There are more problems with this background:

Top right one has same type of problem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faisal_II_of_Iraq

And the india stamp with the "Refugee Relief" print could be problematic as well. http://friends.peoria.lib.il.us/community/howardcourtney/refugeerelief.html

Likely best to just drop this background completely.

Replaced with a less fitting wallpaper, giving smaller variety that doesn't offend anyone.
