It depends on the monitor.

My laptop currently has a group photo of some Cub Scouts.

The desktops have a wall paper changer that grabs from National Geographic photos.

I have this one for starters. Maybe I could use this one as my avatar or what else it is called (compare with VW Bobier, previously).

Much assorted clutter; a half-dozen half-finished half-forgotten reports and articles, a twix, a bottle of Covonia, two watches, a permanent marker, three University access cards, a waterproof camera that wasn't, some ibuprofen tablets, various pens and pencils of indeterminate usability, a hole punch that won't, sheet music for Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, several indelible coffee-mug-sized brown halos, a 6-inch flick knife, a paper plate, a pair of snipe-nosed pliers, a laminator that doesn't, some chocolate coins that went off several christmases ago, ear plugs, condoms, stereo remote control that can't, a coffee mug whose contents are beginning to evolve, anti-perspirant that isn't, the remnants of several gismos pulled apart to see how they work causing them not to, a diver's rope cutter, a blowtorch and a number of other items whose purpose and reason for being i've long since forgotten.

Desktop has two screens so is much bigger, but i'd have to get out of bed to show that and i can't be bothered!

Edit, oops, just noticed a little picture editing necessary.
