Anyone know how to do $SUBJECT? I've tried running both gnome-control- center and dconf as the gdm user, but neither one had any effect.

Hi,
Best way to-do this and one that is reversible if needed.
- Open terminal.
- Do: 'cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme'
- Do: 'sudo cp -f noise-texture.png noise-texture.png.orig'
- Pick a wallpaper that is 'png' and the same resolution as your screen.
- Do: 'sudo cp -f /path_to/my_image.png noise-texture.png'
You may need to experiment with the size of the image to match your resolution.
To reverse the changes:
- Do: 'cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme'
- Do: 'sudo cp -f noise-texture.png.orig noise-texture.png'
- Do: 'sudo rm -f noise-texture.png.orig'
Regards
Phil
Side note:
Why I say same resolution as screen is that the noise-texture.png that is used is smaller than the screen and then tiled. If you wished, you could create a funky smaller patterned image that will tile to make for a more consistent background. Hmm... something like a (hint hint) darker blue CentOS inspired look rather than the grey - god who chose drab grey. :-(
