Gnome, the screensaver and the lock screen background

[tony mollica <tjm3@threedogs.net>]

Hi.

I did find a few bits of information that weren't pertinent, much less 
solve the
problem, but here it is:

How is the locked screen background manipulated for color or background
image?  This is the screen where you come out of screensaver mode to the
login box that gets you back into the active session.

This is a fresh dist-upgrade to Debian 6-amd64 from a very minimal and clean
Lenny-amd64 installation.  Upgrade went very well, everything works, but 
a plain
white (and very bright) re-login screen after coming out of the screensaver
is extremely annoying.

Any suggestions?  The usual ones I've found don't work.


Thanks,

Tony
