Cannot change the locked screen background...

[Fernando Cassia]

I was able to change the background bitmap, and also the log-in background
bitmap (by overwriting the defaults in
/usr/share/backgrounds/releasename/default )
But never the locked screen background.

I' ve tried this script, that supposedly works, but doesn't (it was
originally made for Ubuntu, which includes gksu, -Fedora doesn' t- so I
replaced it with beesu...

zenity --title="Choose Background Image" --info --text="Choose your desired
background image in the following dialog."
IMAGE=$(zenity --title="Choose Background Image" --file-selection)

if [[ `file -i "$IMAGE"` == *image* ]]; then

--text="Choose a scaling option for your background image:" --radiolist
--hide-column=2 --column="" --column="" --column="" FALSE wallpaper Tile

if [ -z "$SCALE" ]; then
    zenity --title="Info" --info --text="You didn't choose a scaling
option, the default, 'Scale', will be set."
    SCALE="scaled"
fi

APPLY=$(zenity --title="Apply to what?" --height=200 --list --text="To
which backgrounds shall the image be applied?" --checklist --multiple

if [ -n "$APPLY" ]; then

    if [[ $APPLY == *Desktop* ]]; then
        gconftool-2 --type string --set
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "$IMAGE"
        gconftool-2 --type string --set
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_options $SCALE
    fi

    if [[ $APPLY == *Login\ Screen* ]]; then
        beesu "gconftool-2 --config-source=xml::/var/lib/gdm/.gconf --type
string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename '$IMAGE'"
        beesu "gconftool-2 --config-source=xml::/var/lib/gdm/.gconf --type

        beesu "chmod 644 '$IMAGE'"
    fi

    if [[ $APPLY == *Lock\ Screen* ]]; then

        beesu "chmod 644 '$IMAGE'"
    fi

    zenity --title="Confirmation" --info --text="$IMAGE has been set as
your $APPLY.\n\nNote: You need to relogin for the Lock Screen Background to
be applied."

else
    zenity --title="Failed!" --error --text="You didn't choose any option,
nothing has been changed."
fi

else
    zenity --title="Failed!" --error --text="You didn't choose a valid
image, nothing has been changed."
fi

Any idea of what me going wrong?
The script runs fine (req zenity) yet it seems the values it tries to set
with gconftool do not apply to F16?
