There are lots of places they could be loading it. The display manager could 
be doing it or the X session manager, or the gnome session manager etc. Try 
and see if you can find where the file lives using locate (you might need to 
run updatedb first) or find using strings like "dell" "jpg" etc. Once you find 
the image you'll have a name that you can look for in the various 
configuration files. Assuming it loads for every user I would start looking in 
/etc. So if the file was named "dell-1280.jpg" you could try a recursive grep 
like,

rgrep "dell-1280.jpg" /etc

Good luck,
