Bug Description

Architecture: amd64
Version: 1.2.1-0ubuntu1.1
Ubuntu 12.04

LightDM for me uses the same wallpaper in the login and lock screens that I have set for my desktop. Lock screen wallpaper seems to look the same as my desktop wallpaper. However the login screen wallpaper does not use the same "display mode" as my desktop wallpaper.

I have set my desktop wallpaper to "scale". But the login screen seems to use something else (it looks the same as when I choose "zoom" for the wallpaper). This is terrible news for the look of my login screen, because with "zoom", half the wallpaper doesn't show!

Having a semi-related issue whereby the wallpaper zoom after login is different to the wallpaper zoom after just setting it.
