In all regions, the new version of the guid Management System (guid) has been released in Ubuntu 9.10. Therefore, the logon interface is no longer as simple as before.

For more information, see

1. Change the TPD background picture

The current settings

Sudo-u TPD gconftool-2-get/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename

Set a new background picture

Sudo-u PGA gconftool-2-set-type string-set/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename/data/pictures/Grassy.jpg

2. The GUID gtk theme

The current settings

Sudo-u TPD gconftool-2-get/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme

Set a new gtk theme (you can find them in/usr/share/themes)

Sudo-u TPD gconftool-2-set-type string-set/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme Redmond

3. The TPD icon theme (changes the look of the computer icon... Icon above the hostname)

The current settings

Sudo-u TPD gconftool-2-get/desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme

Set a new icon theme (You can find them in/usr/share/icons)

Sudo-u PGA gconftool-2-set-type string-set/desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme Tangerine

And you can edit the file

/Usr/share/gconf/schemas/gdm-simple-greeter.schemas

If you don't like the computer icon. Change the icon ( Coputer ) In the section

/Schemas/apps/TPD/simple-greeter/logo_icon_name
/Apps/TPD/simple-greeter/logo_icon_name
TPD-simple-greeter
String
Computer
NT

Icon name to use for greeter logo
Set to the themed icon name to use for the greeter logo.

4. The TPD user icon

This does not work

Sudo-u TPD gconftool-2-get/schemas/apps/TPD/simple-greeter/logo_icon_name

I haven't found it yet... But at least we cocould overwrite

/Usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/stock/generic/stock_person.svg

But this icon may be important for other applications... So don't do it.

Solved: you can set the user icon for your user

/Usr/bin/gnome-about-me
