Actually, what I did was save the original constantine.xml and edit
it to point to the actual image I wanted instead of the default one,
then saved myself a spare copy of the modified file in case some
future update clobbers it.
I, too, would like to know why the normal methods didn't work, but
eventually frustration took hold.
