FWIW, it works for me, using one of the stock images. It does require a restart of gdm (which rebooting surely would cover :). Perhaps the images you added has an SELinux context that gdm does not like? Try a restorecon -rv "/usr/share/backgrounds/images" as well as verifying that the image has permissions which would let the gdm user read it. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A budget is just a method of worrying before you spend money, as well as afterward.
