Do you have a encrypted home setup?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Bryan Moore (moore-bryan)]

No encryption here.

Thank you for your bug report, do you use an image (not a slideshow) from the default set? it only works with those, see bug #944765

[Bryan Moore (moore-bryan)]

Alas, that's it... I *am not* using a default wallpaper. There used to be a third-party app to set the background to whatever someone wanted, but that was--AFAIK--discontinued when it was reported unity-greeter would obey backgrounds. Any ideas when this bug will be resolved; shouldn't it be relative easy?
