Bug Description
Before I start, let me say this. I have a dark GDM theme, a black solid fill background with a dark wallpaper. I've set the GDM login screen to black as well and I've even edited /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. I've already gotten the 'use Ray-Bans' remark in #ubuntu+1 ;) and the tip to file bug, so here it is.
What happens when I log in from the GDM? The GDM disappears, a bright yellow/brown color fills the screen, my custom splash screen is shown while components are loaded (the background is still yellow/brown), the splash screen disappears while my settings and custom desktop are shown. Finally everything is dark again.
The brown/yellowish color must be defined somewhere and should be editable, but where?
It appears to be a downstream issue according to someone in #GNOME (haven't confirmed this though).
You can change the color by going to System> Administration> Login Window. Under the "Local" tab, there is a button to change your background color. Please respond to this comment and close this bug (mark as Invalid) because this is more of a support question than bug. Thanks.
