I can confirm this, and that the visual artifacts only occur under
certain circumstances.

On the screen of my 6 month old laptop the image was dark, with a near
yellow-green tint, and appeared heavily artifacted, while others liked
how chocolate-like it was and couldn't discern any visual artifacting at
all. On top of that, to be sure that this wasn't a common image problem
that I somehow wasn't aware of before I scrutinized the older Ubuntu
default wallpapers, and about ten of my other wallpapers of similar hues
and found none that suffered from similar problems.

I ultimately decided to calibrate my monitor with GAMMApage and various
visual guides, and ending up with with an overall Gamma of around 2.0 -
the difference was night and day. If you have a well calibrated monitor
and want to see how the wallpaper looked like on my - and from the looks
of things on the Ubuntu forums - many other laptop lcds, see the
attachment here:

Unless your intention is to scare off laptop users, the wallpaper really
needs to be refactored to not depend so finely on monitor calibration
or, failing that, replaced with a more suitable entry from the Gutsy art
wiki.
