As the subject says, he's trying to change the background for the GDM
screen. Since GDM doesn't provide a panel, there isn't really a
convenient way to browse to system->preferences->appearance... :)
Using gconftool-2 is generally the best way to achieve this, and works
fine for me on F-12 (as it has in past releases). Why it's not
working for Fred remains to be seen.
