As shown in http://blog.gravatar.com/2008/04/22/identicons-monsterids-and-wavatars-o... , Gravatar has implemented autogenerated default avatars with some styles that keep the same for the same user, letting users which are not registered in Gravatar have their 'own exclusive' avatar. In Wordpress.com this option is used right now to generate those flashy color avatars.

I have attached a patch that can be applied against latest version of Gravatar module to allow administrators to select a default gravatar type under admin/user/gravatar.

Sorry, I haven't seen the patch in your comment. It will be more simple, I confess!

I just performed a big sync with the 6.x version and this feature is now available in the 5.x-1.x version. There will probably be an official 5.1 release shortly.
