use a noise texture for background

I think it would be better to use a simple noise texture for the background. The old baize look is getting a bit dated.

Looks alright to me.... How did you create this file? Manually in gimp? Or some way else?

Unfortunately that doesn't give a source either, which is required for GPL compliance.
What does that mean?
We can use ImageMagick to create a random noise image; I'll try to do that tomorrow and document the steps.
andreasn kindly provided a XCF under GPL3+; added as source to git and export to PNG for use as baize. It's quite hard to actually see the noise (I guess that's the point :-) ) so I hope it's ok.
