This is a beginning...

  • First, see this:
    https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/32480

If you have both kde and gnome, you'll have to do both separately.

  • GNOME - How to make GDM/GNOME setting changes in kickstart scripts? (and wallpaper/background), kickstart info, but scripts are there in this link below
    https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/316973

  • KDE

  • Login screen banner, etc:

Hope this helps

If you wanted to not show the list of users at login, this may help..

/bin/cp /etc/banner /etc/banner.original
/bin/cat << EOF > /etc/banner
YOUR BANNER MESSAGE GOES HERE
EOF
/bin/chmod 755 /etc/banner
gconftool-2 -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system --direct --type boolean true
gconftool-2 -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system --direct --type string "$(cat /etc/banner)"
gconftool-2 -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system --direct --type boolean true

Just to clarify the question: are you seeking a method for centrally maintaining the image placed on the root window of RHEL systems' graphical consoles? That is, you're seeking a way to do remote, dynamic, policy-based control of wall-papers from a central policy engine (akin to Active Directory maintained Wallpaper GPOs)?
