That guy's girlfriend wasn't happy, (maybe it is her own insecurities)
but still, it is an indication that who thought of that wallpaper should
think about "appropriate content" in context.

Google: couchdb sexist

For an incident that caused quite a stir back in 2009.

Your partner wearing lingerie at home in the bedroom is perfectly OK,
but not OK at work. Same as that picture is OK on a school kids luncbox but
not as a DEFAULT login wallpaper -- some people may even object if it
was one of several choices and not even the initial default.

I wouldn't call it porn by a longshot, just a schoolkids fantasy in the
wrong context.

What! linux-audio-user at lists.linuxaudio.org should have THEIR OWN
