To customize login screen background image, run the following commands.

Password:
[root@changhocho ~]# gdm dbus-launch gnome-control-center

** (gdm-binary:2514): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager

By running xhost + command, disable access control.
[root@changhocho ~]# xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[root@changhocho ~]# gdm dbus-launch gnome-control-center

** (gdm-binary:2522): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
