Description of problem: In the "background settings" of gnome-appearance-properties was a "make default" button which changed the gdm background as well as the default background for new users. This button is missing in Fedora 14. Downgrading to control-center-2.30.1-3.fc13.x86_64 allows the user to switch the default background. The settings remain after updating to control-center-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open gnome-appearance-properties Actual results: "make default" button is missing Expected results: "make default" button should appear in the interface and ask for root password when selected.

Please look into this.
Yes this is missing in F14. Any reason? Any alternate way to do this?
The method from this blog page seems to work and the change is permanent. http://haks-fedoraproject.blogspot.com/2010/11/como-cambiar-el-login-screen-en-fedora.html

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
