When logging in from lightdm or any other DM, in previous gnome-session-
I.e. there's some new code that "clears the screen" that needs to be removed.

Changed in gnome-flashback (Ubuntu): | |

Here's one method to reproduce it and get a shell at exactly the point where the gray background is drawn:
sudo echo '#!/bin/sh
xterm gnome-panel "$@"' > /usr/local/ bin/gnome- panel
exec /usr/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/ bin/gnome- panel
Once that wrapper is created, try to login. You'll get an xterm at a gray background.
If you exit the xterm, the login process continues and the gray background is replaced with the user's wallpaper.
