GDM default background image

Is there an easy way to change the (green) default background image (wallpaper) that I get whenever I want to switch user  ? I am not sure I understand where the settings is. In GDM for sure but where ?

I would be ready to use another login manager if that makes it easier. I have tried Slime but I would rather keep the ability to ... graphically switch user (I am currently using Gnome). KDM needs kbase which looks a rather huge download just for that purpose.

Thanks for your help !

Re: GDM default background image

As far as I know it's supposed to be your currently set gnome background but it's bugged and just uses the default gnome wallpaper from /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome

Just rename the background-default file and put whatever image you want there, or symlink it. I myself, just put an all black image wink
