I kinda thought it might be an image in "/usr/share", but wasnt sure.

Check these links:

These are for a Gnome solution though.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply but the default background is not there. You and I must have used the same key words for a search because I had the same results!

I've been trying to correct this for a while, as I don't want to be looking at a corporate logo when I go to my computer (even linux mint, which I love).
If you're using LM 13 with MATE, go to /usr/share/backgrounds/linuxmint, and replace default_background.jpg with your own selection. Will have to gksu cp your_selection.jpg default_background.jpg. Solved it for me...
