Comment 4 for bug 888186

Ding,

I previously had file permissions at 0777 and I have now changed it to 0644 but I still can't get the background to show. I did some digging and found this in the lightdm logs:

[+2.53s] DEBUG: user-list.vala:158: Making background /home/bruce/Library/Graphics/Wallpapers/1440x900/_99.jpg at 1440x900
[+2.53s] DEBUG: user-list.vala:196: Error loading background: Failed to open file '/home/bruce/Library/Graphics/Wallpapers/1440x900/_99.jpg': Permission denied
[+2.53s] DEBUG: user-list.vala:1216: Rendered first frame
[+2.57s] DEBUG: user-list.vala:174: Render of background /home/bruce/Library/Graphics/Wallpapers/1440x900/_99.jpg at 1440x900 complete

Even if the file is owned by root:root like in /usr/share/backgrounds it still doesn't show.

Perhaps this is a lightdm bug then?
