Thanks, I was able to set login screen background preferences using Key
documentation from gconf-editor for /desktop/gnome/background for
*picture_options* key.
pfexec gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/var/lib/gdm/.gconf.mandatory -t string -s
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_options wallpaper
"*wallpaper*" value produces tiled result which is good for dual screen
configuration (the name is confusing though, it makes more sense to call
it "tiled", comparing to other values like "centered", "scaled" etc.).
It's probably good to add a sample to gdm manpage with setting some
custom wallpaper for login screen with display option like tiled
("wallpaper"), "stretched", "centered" etc. and refer to gconf-editor or
wherever needed for further information. Other options like opacity are
less used probably.
Regards,
Hillel.
