Hi.
my mdm installation shows only a black background.
The fedora default directory path /usr/share/backgrounds/default.png where gdm normaly find the background image would be ignored.
Which is the the normal path where mdm is searching for an image?
Is there a different between fedora or debian based distribution?

Version is mdm-1.1.0
I've build a rpm based on the spec file from gdm-2.32.0-1.fc14 with that flags:
./autogen.sh \
--host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu \
--build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu \
--target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu \
--program-prefix= \
--prefix=/usr \
--exec-prefix=/usr \
--bindir=/usr/bin \
--sbindir=/usr/sbin \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--datadir=/usr/share \
--includedir=/usr/include \
--libdir=/usr/lib64 \
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec \
--localstatedir=/var \
--sharedstatedir=/var/lib \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info \
--disable-static \
--enable-console-helper \
--with-selinux \
--with-pam-prefix=%{_sysconfdir} \
--with-dbus-sys=%{_sysconfdir}/dbus-1/system.d/ \
--disable-scrollkeeper \
--with-console-kit \
--enable-authentication-scheme=pam \
--with-xinerama \
--with-console-kit=yes

Exept this issue mdm runs stable. Selinux is disable on my system.
I prefered use mdm because gdm brings me a lot of dependency to gnome 3 and lightdm isn't in the fedora repo's.

If you need more info's let me know.
