Do those files exist? There's no /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/ on my machine.. This works for me $ cat lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf [greeter] background = /usr/share/desktop-base/spacefun-theme/login/background.svg <.. snip ..> > I'm suspecting my changes in lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf have no effect. Try installing lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings I get a lot of error messages but it did change the background for me. > Part 2: weird stat behaviour (ext4 filesystem) > > I'm not too familiar with stat and access times, although I do believe to > have some understanding of it. But the following confuses me: Somebody with a lot more knowledge in that area needs to respond, but wasn't there a setup question about enabling that or no? .. along the lines of updating access times requires a disk write every time a file is accessed, so one can make things faster by not updating the access time.
