I made the terrible mistake of installing xubuntu-desktop. Following this answer I was able to purge almost all XFCE related components. However, the bright blue mouse-themed wallpaper is still shown when I login, logout and reboot. How do I get rid of this and revert it to the default wallpaper? I tried this suggestion, but it had no effect.

My suspicion (now confirmed) was that it wasn't a wallpaper, but in fact a plymouth screen. The plymouth screen is the 'splash' graphic screen that hides the boot messages.
Use the commands
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
sudo update-initramfs -u
The first command will show a list of plymouth screens installed; letting you select one. The second command re-creates initial-ramdisk to reflect change which you'll see next time.
