LightDM to reflect user chosen wallpaper

[Nathanel Titane]

It would be a good option to add the possibility to automatically switch the lightdm background to the user's desktop background choice to enable a better visual flow from greeter to desktop.

Manually configuring it to do so proves to be repeptitve bc of frequent updates.

Maybe somekind of monitoring script could provide an easier way to do so upon switch?

Which greeter is this? The Unity greeter?

Unfortunately this feature won't be ready in time for 11.10. It will be
there for 12.04.

Damn... oh well. By then we'll see who gets more attention: Luna or Codename
'P'.

Its really sad that such minor yet important esthetic bugs aren't pushed
through to boost the wow factor....

Will the fix be available as a patch?
