I've never done this, but I remember seeing a chapter in a old Sun training manual I have laying around. So I'll copy what they said for you but I'm not sure it will work. Looks to me like you need to put that Xconfig file in a different place but other than that your example was right. Hopefully these instructions will help.
----------------------
1. Change to the /etc/dt/config/C directory. Create it if it does not exist.
cd /etc/dt/config/C
cp /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources .
2. Edit the /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources file and change the following line:
!! Dtlogin*logo*bitmapFile:
to include the path to your bitmap or pixmap file
3. Save the file
4. Log out. A different image appears on the Dtlogin screen.

Hi,
I tried to kill the defunct process but it didn't work.
I don't want to make a mistake because some people are working on the server. I don't know if they might have troubles without dtlogin.
I would like stop/start dtlogin to stop the defunct process
Do you think that works?... (6 Replies)

wdmlogin
wdmLogin(1x) wdmLogin(1x)
NAME
wdmLogin - wdm login panel
SYNOPSIS
wdmLogin [-d display] [-l logo] [-w <window managers>] [-b background] [-h helpfile] [-u username] [-p password]
DESCRIPTION
wdmLogin is greeter designed to work with wdm(1x). It has several features not found on xdm's greeter. wdmLogin should not be called
directly, that's wdm's task.
OPTIONS
-d starts on the specified display
-l uses the specified logo for the panel. The logo will be resized to 200 by 130 pixels.
-w presents the colon separated list of window managers, for the user to pick one, or None if you want only NoChange to appear.
-a enables animations consisting of shaking the Login panel (if an error) and rolling up the image (when closing the panel).
-h uses the specified text file to display in the help panel instead of the static help message which is in the sources. Take care of
long lines which may cause display trouble in the help panel.
-u use the default username and password as specified in wdm-config if nothing is typed by the user. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
-b uses the specified background image (see the next section). If this is not specified, then the background is NOT set.
BACKGROUND IMAGE SPECIFICATION
There are several possible ways of specifing a background image. The generic format is -btype:image. type can be any of:
none do not set the background. This user can still set the background via other means.
solid it renders a solid backgroud, and image is a color name
hgradient, vgradient, dgradient
a gradient (either horizontal, vertical or diagonal) will be rendered. image is comma separated of color names, and any number of
colors can be specified.
pixmap a pixmap will be used for the background. image is the full path to an image file (tiff, png, jpeg and xpm allowed) and it will be
scaled to use the full screen.
FILES
wdmLogin can be customized by modifying /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Some variables that defines locale affects the look of wdmLogin. wdm program will set LANG environment variable according to `wdmLocale'
resource in wdm-config file.
