The file which comes with Jessie is named greeter.dconf-defaults. Its contents are similar to yours. It looks like you have just deleted some commented lines and renamed it. > Note here that the banner-message does not appear either but the > disable-user and disable-restart-buttons both work strangely enough. I have no trouble with getting a banner-message to appear. > [org/gnome/desktop/background] > picture-uri='file:///usr/share/images/desktop-base/bg-login.svg' Not a system file. One of yours? /usr/local/share is the place for it. If I uncomment this line and reboot GDM fails to start. Is that what you meant by "does not work"? Comment out this line and the next one. > picture-options='zoom' > > [org/gnome/login-screen] > logo='/usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/places/debian-swirl.png' > fallback-logo='/usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/places/debian-swirl.png' > disable-user-list=true > disable-restart-buttons=true > banner-message-enable=true > banner-message-text='Welcome to Debian 8' This is the relevant section. As a user type gsettings set org.gnome.login-screen and then press the TAB key twice. (TAB completion also works when typing the command). Can you see anything relating to a login background in the output of the command? Neither do I; editing greeter.dconf-defaults is a non-starter. Open the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css Find the section for lockDialogGroup and (as root) change the line background: #2e3436 url(noise-texture.png); to background-color: blue; and reboot. Alternatively, you could try background: url(/path/to/an/image); background: <whatever> url(noise-texture.png); <whatever> could be something like "green" or "#2a6343". An upgrade to gnome-shell-common would wipe out your changes to the file. Prevent this with dpkg-divert --rename --add /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css and copy gnome-shell.css.distrib back to gnome-shell.css. You asked about the existence of a bug; it is in the wiki page you consulted.
