Interesting indeed. With the direction we seem to be taking, as I explained in my answer to Jon, the background will display contextual artwork for the currently playing/last played media.

Well its really bad naming convention > for non-spanish hackers :S Poblesec is the name of a neighbourhood of Barcelona (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sants-Montju%C3%AFc).
