As I said in the first commit message, I just wanted to play a bit with
it.
I chosen this leaf because it waas not the Haiku logo itself, so it can
be used in development builds too.
The message also serves as a more extensive text sample of the chosen
language, in case you're not sure which one to select ;). It could also
be a warning message ("this is not actually Haiku") in development
versions.
The idea was to get something a bit more graphical and less plain. It's
a welcome screen and it can be a bit more creatve than other apps. If
you don't like a background, perhaps a 'welcome icon' of some kind
could be drawn on the right of the text, or anything else. But putting
nothing make the window feel a bit too boring to me. If others think
so, it's easy to remove the drawing altogether, no worries.
