Basically, this is compiled into the Xserver. If you want to change it then
start learning the Xfree86 sources. I doubt very much if Xfree86 will accept
any patches to change it. Think of it as a tradition. There was an interview
with Jim Gettys and one of the questions touched on this very subject. I
could try to dig it up if anyone really wants me to try.
As people have mentioned kdm does replace the background after a few seconds.
