Desktop background is not shown in the login screen if personalized

[Manuel Valentin]

If you set for your account a desktop background from your own picture folder or whatever else, it is not shown in the login screen as it does if you have one of the standard wallpapers provided by ubuntu.

I am facing the same issue in Ubuntu 13.10.

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
I noticed the custom wallpaper does appear properly if the file is located in the user's home directory.
But it does not appear if the file is located in a sub-directory like the documents or pictures folders
