There are actually a few 'background' tags floating around in the... background.

...Ok, that one was terrible. In all seriousness:

###Updates These tags have been removed:

• background - used generically for both background tasks and background images, it has been replaced with more precise tags.
• desktop-background (Merged with background-image)
• wallpaper - Synonymised with desktop-customisation
• background-job / background-process
• From Oliver below:

Background processes are not an area of expertise and/or interest. There aren't any experts on background processes who would see your question and have an answer because they deal with background processes all the time These tags don't add any useful grouping or filter to the question, and should be removed/replaced

These are the ones that remain to be cleared:

• background-image

Questions about desktop wallpapers/backgrounds should be tagged desktop-customization instead. Other uses of these tags should be dealt with on a case-by case basis (but generally just removed).

Wallpaper was originally merged with background-image but has since been recreated, this could potentially be synonymised with desktop-customization?
