Essentially you just need to jam the right voodoo in a local dconf config file and 'dconf update'.
Actually, the first paragraph at your first link says:
.... Note that the login screen background image cannot be customized.
Pretty unbelievable. Hopefully kdm, lightdm, sddm, or even xdm will pop up in EPEL soon.
Searching on Google turns up this:
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-customize-gdm-36-login-lock.html
and states that: ==> You can manually change the GDM 3.6 grey background image. The image used by default is located under /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ and is called noise-texture.png.
Like its name says, the grey image used by GDM 3.6 is a pattern, but you don't have to use a pattern and a regular wallpaper image works too. To change it, open Nautilus [or Dolphin file manager] as root:
gksu "nautilus --no-desktop /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/"
then make a backup of the original "noise-texture.png" image and replace it with the image you want to use as a background for the GDM 3.6 login / lock screen. <==
