you can't change the screen. hopefully one day there would be improvements to that screen so you can have your own background as well as details of missed calls and received messages.

There must be a code in a file that specifically tells the device to load that image up..Especially as Venomrush has stated that he is now using a new background..?

What happens if you just rename/move the Blue Splash wallpaper and put whatever you want in its place?

Could be onto something there..
However being able to actually find the file would open up possibilities on an app being created for this purpose.
3 steps ahead..

the lock slider background is located in the relevant theme folder
for the nseries theme it is in
/usr/share/themes/alpha/lockslider.png
you could change this via xterm,
i haven't tried it yet but i have extracted it to my pc to try editing.
I'm not too good at graphic stuff so I'll upload it here.
this is for the nseries theme and is only the background,
I haven't found the slider part yet

I have tried some of the alternative themes from the extras-devel repository and they give a different background for the lock screen.
I'm assuming this works in a similar fashion to themes on a normal Gnome desktop on Linux so it is quite likely that it's easy to change this.
If you're new to Linux then it's handy to differentiate the difference between backgrounds and themes. When switching the background on the N900 all you're really changing is the wallpaper on the desktops. Themes encompass a wider variety of changes to the UI. So for example, buttons, icons and it appears the lock screen.
I haven't got round to building a custom theme for mine yet. As an example here's my current lock screen.

It's always defaulted to the N900 original theme/wallpaper even when I changed the wallpaper.
