Just an FYI for those of you who may want to do more than set the
default. You can force all users to have a specific background (or any
gconf setting) by changing the above to:
gconftool2 --direct --config-source \
~ xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
~ --type string --set desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "$1"
That will make the setting "mandatory" rather than merely default,
meaning that users cannot change it. The latest and greatest GNOME has
a lot of other things that can be locked down specifically like panel
configuration, etc.
