It's not "god-awful" and this is not the list to discuss "How to change my
desktop background".

If you really, really, really don't know how to do this:
http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.2/manuals/xfdesktop
And no, there is no 4.4 version of this manual...

The same for gdm: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/docs/2.20/gdm.html
