Patience. Patience. Patience. Or do a search. I would have thought that something like this would be documented somewhere.

Yes it is possible.
If you are still using the alpha theme then the image you need to replace is called lockslider.png and you can ftp to it if you have rootsh installed and just drag and drop your replacement image there.
The filepath is
/usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds

Move it to another directory then copy your own one from the second command you posted.EDIT: Second command needs to be this
Code:
cp /home/user/MyDocs/myfolder/lockslider.png /usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds/

In all seriousness, download and install Winscp connect to your n900 using that. Assuming you have a wireless network to use. So much easier if you want to go changing icons and backgrounds etc.
I might make a youtube video on how to do it as I am surprised at how many people don't use it.
