Since that location in SVN is now a bit obscure, perhaps we should
create a new SVN module called trunk/KDE/kdebase-wallpapers.

The context here is that: SVN is just better then Git at storing stuff
like wallpapers, so I think we should consider it as the best longterm
solution for big binary blobs. But wallpapers are required by
kdebase-workspace.
