I would like to change the default root's picture:

root piture

I tried adding Icon entry in var/lib/AccountService/users/root, but when I reboot the file is overwritten and the icon row is deleted. I was thinking of changing this icon, directly, with one of my choice.

Where can I find it? I'm running Kali 2.0 Sana

I tried adding the Icon property to the /var/lib/AccountService/users/root and it didn't work for me either. For some unknown reason the content of the config file gets overridden.

After some additional googling I found out that GDM also checks for the existence of $HOME/.face or $HOME/.face.icon files if no image is defined in the config file. So once I added the picture to /root/.face GDM picked it up right away. Just make sure it's in the right format, mine is PNG 96x96.
