I've looked around and can't find where the Gnome login screen
background image is stored. I want to set it to something different
from the default.
I'm not talking about the desktop wallpaper. as soon as I log-in it's
displayed fine. I'm talking about the background image when the OS
first boots and the Gnome log-in screen is displayed.
All the solutions that came up on Google were for Ubuntu and referred
to an Ubuntu-specific tweak tool. I looked in Gnome-tweak-tool and
couldn't find any option to change this...
Thanks

I know you've found other answers, but I thought I'd throw this out
there, too. I've created the following file:
/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-local-settings
and put the following in it:
[org/gnome/desktop/background]
picture-options='zoom'
picture-uri='file:///usr/local/share/backgrounds/MyLocalBackground.jpg'
This is an even better solution than mine, thanks Mike. I didn't
realize you could do this in /etc/dconf, and that makes more sense
than artificially polluting /usr.

Nevermind. I will do it the brute-force way and overwrite the default in
usr/share/backgrounds/verne/default/

Hi Fernando:
Just to complement your own answer, that question is discussed here and
may be useful:

All the best,
Germán.

No reason to do that. :-) You can drop a new override file into
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas to do this. Refer to the
org.gnome.desktop.background.fedora.gschema.override file for the
format. Just drop in a new file with a "later" (alphabetically
speaking) name, such as
org.gnome.desktop.background.zzz.gschema.override.

Seems the file has been updated.
https://github.com/Nano77/various/blob/master/rpm/gdm3setup-20120226-1.no...
Still "Nano77" alone doesnt inspire much confidence. Could be anyone
setting up a github account as far as I'm concerned.
I hope some day it will be in the official Fedora repos. Maybe I will
file a RFE...

Thanks Germán!. Looks like GDM3setup is the "proper way to do things" answer.
Should be in the Fedora repos, if you ask me. :)
