Hi All,

from my personal perspective, I don't use personas, I never did. But...

I taught hundreds of people, children and adults as well and I can say most people like "funny little harmless" things 
like this.

Just imagine how many users change their desktop background, even if they cannot see it the whole day. They simply just 
like personalize it. I think such a little thing that makes LO more attractive for the newcomers, should be kept.

If it breaks then it should be fixed.

Allow people to make and tweak themes as well, and even add images. It could, perhaps, still be compatible with the Persona system, but rely only on LO to function, as I know some issues have been caused on Mozilla's end.
