Description

When we didn’t have gnome-flashback, an ugly all-grey background was displayed. Now that we have gnome-flashback, the default Debian background is displayed. This is an improvement, as at least something is managing the background. We now have to find out why the way we have to set our preferred one in config/chroot_local-patches/gdm-tails-greeter.patch doesn’t work.

dconf dump /, run as user Debian-gdm, shows that the picture-uri dconf key we set has the expected value.

Worst case, I guess we can still overwrite the Debian background image with ours, but well, even if I see no strong technical reason to bother, it would be nice to configure this properly.
