Bug Description
You should be able to change the brown look of login screen, just like you could in previous Ubuntu releases.
I had a custom GDM theme that was completely overwritten by the new login screen. I tried to find some tool to get the custom theme back or at least sanitize the login screen from the brown look, but currently I can't, not entirely at least.
The login screen is sensible to the GTK theme currently set for the gdm user, so if you run $gksu -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearanc
Either way, there should be a human-friendly way of doing it. My suggestion is a simple checkbox displayed in System > Preferences > Appearance when the user has admin rights, something like "Apply current theme for the login screen". Another option would be having that checkbox in System > Administration > Login Screen. When checked, the brown splash screen should be replaced with the chosen background or some neutral stuff.
