There are lots of people wanting to know how to do this. There are many people that do not know how to edit "splash.xpm.gz". It even took me a while to figure that out. This is what I see: back_grounds.src with all the images in it from CentOS 2 - 5. For gdm, redhat-logos and redhat-artwork all compiled in to "back_grounds.src". Maybe also getting this into the extras repo. JohnStanley
