As the subject says, he's trying to change the background for the GDM

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.

You can also set it as a user's background via the normal preferences
setting and then make that the system default (via the bottom "Make
Default" button).

Would that affect GDM's background, or only the Gnome desktop's
background? They are not the same thing.

Yes, if you set a default background it effects the GDM background, but takes restarting GDM (or a reboot) to see it.
