Ricardo,
Once you have changed your background color, you may find configuring
the actual XDM login window useful.  The XDM man page [1] covers a
number of X resources that will configure how the various widgets in the
login window are drawn.  I believe XDM in Debian
reads /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources.  Also, this project [2] covers some
details of configuring a pretty XDM.

I would like to change xdm default background (the one that apears when 
the login information is prompted) to solid black.
Does anybody what file I have to edit to change that?

I was thinking of something along the line of

        xsetroot -solid black

but I dont know where to put it.


Put it in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup, or add "-br" to the command line in
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers.
