How to change background in gdm-2.26?

After emerging gdm-2.26 (yes it's masked!) I got a green background (gnome standard wallpaper I think). How to change it? Can't find anything in gdm.conf or gconf.

kind regards, Henry

The same thing happened to me. Were you able to figure it out?

Not yet. Tried a lot of things, and lately it changed to a gentoo wallpaper, but I don't know if that was my *fault*, or if it was changed after a gdm upgrade...
I'm still clueless.

There's a "settings-manager-plugin/background" to activate in gconf, but that changes nothing(?).
