on a laptop, i don't want the "face" mode enabled.
But what i'd love to retrieve is how to change the background of the
login screen!?
in the past, it was possible with gdmsetup and themes.
Now, it seems that it should be possible to make something with
gconftool, but i'm unable to have something else than the default
background on my login screen.
Here are the steps i tried (*):
henry at tara:~$ pfexec su - gdm
gdm at tara:~$ pwd
/var/lib/gdm
gdm at tara:~$ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename
/usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/opensolaris/opensolaris-default.jpg
gdm at tara:~$ ls -l /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/opensolaris/
total 2023
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 273922 Dec 26 14:01 clouds.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 322342 Dec 26 14:02

-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 190794 Dec 26 14:01 rings.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 202364 Dec 26 14:01 stream.jpg
gdm at tara:~$ gconftool-2 --set --type string --set
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /export/home/henry/MonTheme/
1) bigkey.svg
2) GdmGreeterTheme.desktop
3) greeter.xml
4) screenshot.png
gdm at tara:~$ gconftool-2 --set --type string --set
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename
/export/home/henry/MonTheme/screenshot.png
gdm at tara:~$ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename
/export/home/henry/MonTheme/screenshot.png
After that, svcadm restart gdm, but no change
Is it possible in this release?
thanks in advance,
gerard
