[dundee] Load Desktop Backgrounds Immediately in Linux [How To]

[azmodie]

When logging into Ubuntu or most any GNOME-based Linux system, users see a
blank one-color screen until the actual desktop is loaded—which can make one
feel like somethings broken, or at least make your boot experience less
fluid. One intrepid Ubuntu hacker, however, shows how to banish the blank
screen and have GNOME display your chosen background image or color right
away. The tutorial requires installing an "xloadimage" package in Ubuntu,
but the open-source package is available in many distributions.
HOWTO: (GDM) Show the user wallpaper/background color, while logging in
