Does anyone know how to change the background image in the GDM greeter? I googled around but only seemed to be able to find obsolete info.

TIA...

You could give the method for F15 & F16 a try:

Code:

1. open terminal
2. $ su -
3. # xhost +
4. # sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-control-center
5. Click background and select your background
6. Logout and see your lovely new login background
