That is true, when you upgrade, you need to do it again.
That’s a bad tip IMHO. You’ll lose everything when you update WordPress. A much better alternative would be to use Mark Jaquith’s plugin (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/login-logo/) which is as seamless and invisible as possible (no UI, nothing, so client isn’t bothered with menus and stuff)
Thanks for mentioning the plugin. There seem to be many plugins to do the job.
