Bug Description

I understand a similar bug was fixed a week or two ago involving the login screen, whereby the "dots" pattern did not line up properly with the new default wallpaper.

Now when locking the screen I have noticed that the dots pattern is in the wrong place, if the right place is where they are on the login screen. They also go through the "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS" logo in the bottom left rather than around it, and the central dot on the screen is slightly below the central point of the default wallpaper, as opposed to rows above and below the centre as in the login screen.

I am running through an NVIDEA GTX 650 with screen resolution 1920x1080. This doesn't seem to be limited to me though, as you can see the same thing in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ZAREcpd6_eE#t=100 by Joey Sneddon (1:40)

Finally, I'm reporting this against lightdm as it seems the most appropriate package; please advise if it is not!

the lining up issue was with the wallpaper itself, rather than the grid pattern in the unity-greeter.

The issue here is that the grid pattern is overlayed/calculated differently from the unity-greeter and discrepancies are visible between the two. (Mostly the starting offset of the grid.
