    Changing 12.10 start screen

    First of all, i'm not sure if this is default in 12.10, but the start screen background isn't being copied from my user background. Although it's not particularly relevant to what i want to do, knowing how to do this will just be useful information.

    I'm trying to change the background of the logon screen without just copying the user background.

    I know it's possible to do both of these via terminal, although i have no idea what the commands are.

    any help is appreciated.

    Is there much difference in the method, between the different versions of ubuntu?

    most of the guides are for pre- 11.10 versions of ubuntu
