I can't imagine how or why that would help.  As long as gdm can read
the file, it should be good.  I used several files from the
/usr/share/backgrounds/ tree and they all worked here.

You should notice that a new user gets the image you specify (or an
existing user that has not set their own background image).  It would
be worth verifying whether that is the case for you.  If it's not,
then the problem isn't with gdm but elsewhere.

mediocrity slowly and open the gates of despondency - welcome to a day
in the average office.
