The only way I found on a Ubuntu wiki is :

1. install the capplets-data package

2. execute the below command :
sudo ln -s /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/

3. logout

4. replace the background image of the gdm greeter by a background
colour

5. login again

6. execute the below command :
unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop

7. remove the capplets-data package and all its dependencies

Title:
  gdmsetup should allow to change the image background

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I want to use Xubuntu 11.04 on a lightweight laptop. On this host I
  need a very long battery lifetime as well as the shortest startup
  duration.

  Therefore I would like to disable the image background of gdm.

  Why is there no option into the gdmsetup tool for disabling or
  changing the image background of the gdm greeter ?
