Summary:
Whatever multisampling is used in the process of scaling wallpapers down to fill a screen has been somehow compromised in Mountain Lion. Everything is super jaggedy and/or pixely.

Steps to Reproduce:
Set an image as your wallpaper. Ideally one with hard edges, for comparison's sake, but anything will do.

Expected Results:
Pretty! See http://d.bldm.us/hakase-lion.png

Actual Results:
Eugh. See http://d.bldm.us/hakase-ml.png
