Well here is where the background is, but none of the files in "menus" specify that file by name, so it must be built into the game elsewhere...I recomment that you just rename that image as a backup, and make your own to replace it, its a menu item, not an actual ingame image that affects play, so it should be perfectly fine to edit it. (and not be considered cheating at all)
Read into all those menu items, the images they refer to are in the same folder in the screenshot, they are .tga's.

The background image can be optionally specified in the menu files, however it uses backtile_inv by default.

Actually that screenshot was Nexenta OS, I just copy my ~/.themes ~/.icons ~/fonts ~/.gaim and ~/mozilla onto all of my computers so that they all look alike to me. But yeah, those icons are ripped from Ubuntu, the standard Nexenta theme is a copy of Ubuntu's human theme, but that's too much orange for me.  :P

I'll be watching your project and will be around to test anything that needs testing. Debian/GNU Linux base FTW!
