Before I used the method described in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gdm#Configuration (changing /desktop/gnome/background under gdm user), but now it does not seem to work. Now, when GDM is shown, it makes background gray (single color, as if I havenn't set background image).
I'm using slim with xfce4 too.after running [sudo systemctl enable slim.service] I also had to reinstall slim. [sudo pacman -S slim]everything was back to normal after that.I do still wonder how many other services I'm going to have to start in the future.

I have just installed Arch_amd64 and I am using GNOME as my DE. I get to the gdm login screen and I login.. However, for desktop I get the striped wallpaper and nothing else... mouse works and keyboard too (alt+ctrl+del).
The line in .xinitrc needs to be exec ck-launch-session gnome-session

Is there solution using a utility or folder shortcuts that would keep the active desktop wallpaper/background the same in KDE and Gnome/Unity. (Changing the background in one desktop would also change the other desktop's wallpaper)
I use both desktops because they both serve me better for different tasks, and i'd like to match LightDM login background for KDE as well.
I changed my desktop background, and press ctrl+L to lock my screen. And then when I was trying to unlock my screen (it shows a window to let you input your password), I found that the background image remained the default one(blue stripe), and after I enter my password and unlocked, the background changed to the new one.The problem came after gnome was updated to version 3.4.
if you want a gnome like experiance may i suggest xfce4... compiz and emerald work and you can set it up to look like gnome 2

Hi,
I'm writing a Bash script for wallpaper clocks which works fine on the command line but needs to be run every minute from a crontab entry so the time gets changed on the wallpaper (the wallpaper gets rebuilt every minute so the current weekday, date, month, hour, and minute become part of the wallpaper).
The script changes the wallpaper like this, depending on which version of Gnome is runni
