We changed this for mageia 2 for kde at least because the creation of
default.jpg was broken (user was generally stuck to a 1024*768
resolution see mga #1309 ) so now we're letting KDE choose the
correction image resolution by providing a « complete » theme set,the
package is mageia-theme-kde-background (introduced in [1] ).
Also for KDE you can configure the « wallpapper » for each activities,
we're doing it for all in [2]
so you can simply edit
/var/lib/mageia/kde4-profiles/common/share/apps/desktoptheme/default/metadata.desktop
to set the default wallpaper you want to use.

</I>
cf above.
(I can't answer for GNOME/LXDE & others :/ )
