I completely agree with your sentiments.  I could just yank down the
existing fancy desktop images from somewhere and re-submit them, saying
they're from my NetBSD machine. :-)

Does anyone have any good suggestions about out to "validate" the image
to sort of prove it is a NetBSD screenshot?  I'm not asking about some
ironclad proof, just a generic suggestion.  Something like all screenshots
should have www.netbsd.org in a browser, (X or lynx in an xterm), etc.
Just some consistent method of demonstrating that "Yes, this is NetBSD!"

I'm having difficulty thinking of anything clever.  Obviously any image
can be faked, but ignoring the reprobates, what can we do?
