GNOME2: create /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory/%gconf-tree.xml, which sets the background color to black and enables the blank screensaver. Its not clear to me whether there can be a more specifc filename can be used. It handles gdm and a user session well in my testing.
Note that this file might exist already (that's how you lockdown a system), so you should be ready to update it if it exists.
GNOME3: create /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/99-nosplash, which sets the background color to black. During boot 'dconf update' is called so that the changes get applied. Its not clear to me how to temporary propagate the background setting into a user session. I see ~user/.config/dconf/user contains the background setting, but appearently a global file /etc/dconf/db/user has no effect. Here I need advise how to implement the feature.
See the lockdown part at https://live.gnome.org/dconf/SystemAdministrators This is the most reliable way to force the background for all users, but users won't be able to change the background. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
