[Bug 850373] Re: Lock screen does not pick the new wallpapers dynamically

 

upstream comment:

"That's actually not the current design.  The current design is to make the
screensaver password screen have the same background as the login password
screen (gdm), not the user's background.  It doesn't work exactly that way
either though since the switchover to dconf, but it's a close approximation to
that.

The whole screensaver ui is going to be redone for 3.4, so there may be a new
design then, though."
