I've successfully used gconftool-2 to set a background for gdm:

su -c 'gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/var/lib/gdm/.gconf -s --type string /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /path/to/background.jpg' gdm

If you run SELinux in enforcing mode, make sure that any image you
point to doesn't have a problematic context.  I managed to use an
image that was default_t and that didn't work so well. :)

Also ensure that the image you specify is readable by gdm.
