[Fedora-livecd-list] Custom default background

[juszak at yahoo.com]

Thanks, that got me pointed in the right direction.

Here are the slightly tweaked lines for the LiveCD that did it for me...

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/color_shading_type "solid" >/dev/null
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/primary_color "#000000000000" >/dev/null
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/secondary_color "#ffffffffffff" >/dev/null
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "/usr/share/backgrounds/images/LiveCD-Background.png" >/dev/null
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_options "centered" >/dev/null
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_opacity "100" >/dev/null
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/background/draw_background true >/dev/null

See

You should add a line like the following in the %post section of the
kickstart configuration file:

gconftool-2 -t str  -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename
"/usr/share/backgrounds/images/new_background.png"

Obviously, the new background must exist. You could create an RPM
package containing only this file to achieve it.
