There was either a nude or semi-nude wallpaper at one point, it was
awhile ago--shortly after it came out, IIRC.  

It was by no means hardcore and I don't recollect if there was full
nudity. It did, however, attract a great deal of comment at the time.

Teletubbies is a show for very very young children--I think the point is
that Mandrake, now Mandriva, is overly easy to use.   Either that or
they're making fun of the pretty colors.  <shrug>
