Why did you need only rpm's?
If you use KDE try www.kde-look.org
If you use GNOME try www.gnome-look.org

Man, some of the simplest task are way to difficult....LOL. I have a few pictures that I would like to use as background, I have them on a floppy. I open the floppy, drag the picture into the window that pops up when you right click on the dekstop choosing change background. The background immediately changes to the picture I drag in there. When I reboot it defaults back to the standard background that was preloaded with F8. How do I get the background image I choose to stick???

The file (wallpaper) must be always available, which means that it should be stored in the hard drive. If you set it from the floppy and then remove it, when the computer is rebooted (X restarted) it won't find the picture and will fall back to the previous one or show none at all.

You have to uninstall gnome-screensaver.
You will find xscreensaver under System/Preferences/Look and Feel
