Last week, I replaced the file "default.png" in my

What file, full path name, did you alter?
In my recent update yesterday, something replaced my custom backsplash
with the old default.png.
Why would an update do that ?
Because some files actually belong to packages and aren't guaranteed to be
replaced on updates.
This is the kind of stuff you can expect from living in Rawhide, so
I am NOT complaining. And I am using Xfce, so the DM
is LightDM, specifically,
lightdm-1.30.0-8.fc32 ( Rawhide's current version, if using Xfce )
What you should, probably (since I'm not a lightdm user, do is to modify
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and change the line
background=/usr/share/backgrounds/default.png
to point to the image file you wish to use.
