My current Arch Linux install's xorg default background is solid black. I
have memories that this used not to be the case, some woven-like mesh
was the standard. I looked around and found no info about it. Then I
looked for bitmap screenshots, png rather than jpg, with this background
on them and then restored it. Below, I doubled it up to look more like
it used to on low end displays from the 1990s.
