Looking through this thread, it seems that people might be forgetting a
few things:
GDM runs as a special user, therefore it can't read YOUR files, by
default. If your homespace hasn't got world-readable permissions on
directories and the image file you want it to use, it can't read it. It
may also need word-executable directories, and certain SELinux contexts.
If you put the image file somewhere else (than your homespace), the same
things apply. It'd be no good putting a file that only your username
can read into /usr/share/backgrounds/.
Look at the files that GDM uses by default, put yours in a similar
location, and give yours the same permissions and SELinux contexts.
I haven't done any customising with Fedora 12 yet, but that technique
has worked with prior releases.
