Bug Description

Hi all,
Here is the environnement :
I mount home directory from a NAS. They are mounted as CIFS.
I changed lightdm init script in order to be sure that user's home are mounted before lightdm is started (otherwise things are bad.. very bad).

and the problem i'm facing :

I choose a wallpaper (on the ubuntu set).
I quit my session.
The wallpaper is display when i'm on the user name.
--> This is perfect.
After a while (i use the computer normaly, power on/off, login/logout, ...), lightdm do not display wallpaper for some users but other are ok.
If i continue to use my computer at last, no wallpaper are displayed by lightdm on login screen.
If i set again the wallpaper, everything is back to normal for the user i set.

So, why are the user's wallpaper not display every times by lightdm ?

Please ask for information (with commandline to retrive them), i'll sent it to help solve that pb.
