Good question.
The background color of my locked screen is "black/noir" and the greeter
style is very "minimalistic" (just to say something).

There is a g-conf value under "/apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_dialog_theme"
that seems to be for changing the theme for the lock screen, but I dunno
how/if that works (BTW, I've tested by downloading a screensaver theme
from "Gnome-look" but apparently it makes no difference or is just simply
that I don't know how to configure it :-?).
