On FC7, I have the following in /etc/gdm/custom.conf

  [greeter]
  DefaultWelcome=false
  Welcome=Welcome to %n

Welcome= has a string, rather than a file path.

Long ago I made a custom GDM greeter, it was a theme that I made where I
could customise such things, rather than customising that (above
mentioned) file. 

That configuration file has a reference to
"/usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf".  And there's another file which has all
the "default" multi-lingual texts.

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.
