G'day there One & All,
I apologize if I'm posting this to an inappropriate forum, however I *do* use Gentoo, so I think it's probably OK. If not, please direct me elsewhere.
I have Gentoo successfully installed on my 'pooter where it's working away quite happily & effectively. I use X exclusively for Linux stuff (except when I stuff it up by playing with the settings) and log myself in via Login.App rather than xdm/gdm/kdm. It works quite well & I'm happy with it.
Recently I tired of the same boring old plain background screen & tried to use xsetbg in the startup script for Login.App. I thought that the correct way to do it, but no matter what I try I can't get a picture onto the background. I've tried using exactly the same command from an aterm, and my pic is magically presented on the root window. Therefore I think I've got the command worked out correctly. What I can't do is get it up there underneath the login dialogue.
Has anyone succeeded in doing just this? Can someone please tell me how it's done?
I guess I'd describe myself as an intermediate user - not really a newbie, but not clever enough to actually know what I'm doing =)
Thanks in advance, Ken McLennan Qld, Australia
