+Some ideas:
+
+- pixmap != background/wallpaper, so better /usr/share/{backgrounds,wallpapers}
+- as probably in a future will also exist shared sounds, videos or other
+ things, and as there is no XDG standard, why not group everything in something
+ like /usr/share/media/{wallpaper,image,audio,video} ?
