Bug Description

One cool thing about lightdm is that it uses the same wallpaper as your session. Unfortunatly if you choose a wallpaper from a image folder (for example), lightdm uses the default pink background.
It would be nice to be able to use any background the session uses.

Moreover in the appearence ' system settings, when you choose a personnal wallpaper, you can zoom it, center it ...

It would so cool and precise that lightdm takes this into account so that from lightdm to the session you keep the same background !

thanks
