In my install of Rawhide, gdm has a flat black background,

of blue across the screen, sort of fading from one spot to another.
Just curious if this is intentional.
Most likely. There is a new wallpaper created for each release, but
rawhide is separate. I've never installed rawhide, so I have no idea
what the default is for it.
and if there is an easy way to adjust the
background ?
There are a few ways to do it, but what I just tried might be the
simplest. It also opens a fairly large security hole, so make sure you
follow all steps to clean it up at the end. (Rebooting will also reset it.)
Open a terminal and run "xhost +". (Security hole.)
Then run "sudo -i" and enter your user password to become root.
Run "sudo -u gdm gnome-control-center". That will bring up the settings
interface for the gdm user. Careful what you change in there, you're
just there for the background. Make the changes, then quit.
Press ^D or type "exit" to get out of the root user.
Then run "xhost -" to close the security hole.
