For strong landscapes, perhaps. This isn't the case with less noisy
landscapes, and it certainly isn't the case because of a little
branding in the bottom-right.

Windows don't always cover the desktop, whereas the majority of
screenshots are full-desktop screenshots. Branding in the bottom-right
corner would still be visible in the majority of non-maximised windows
scenarios.

There are other ways how to make a desktop recognizable as SUSE desktop like

The K-menu button is indeed important, but I see no valid reason for
why a little branding on the wallpaper has to be missed out.
