Description Bryan W Clark 2004-09-28 02:50:10 UTC 
/apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image

This keys descriptions are very vague.  
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/draft_hig_new/gconf-keys.html

Something like:
Short:  Preferred Image to use for login splash screen
Long:   This is a relative path value based off the $datadir/pixmaps/ directory.
 Sub-directories and image names are valid values. Changing this value will
effect the next session login.

Something about the possible types of images would be good as well.

patch to the gnome-session.schema.in file

This patch updates the gnome-session.schema.in file for a more appropriate
gconf key description.	

Since we have branched gnome-session may I apply to HEAD w/ appropriate
ChangeLog entry?

Commiting this so it won't get lost.
