I've started with some implementation of this.  The simple case is easy,
where it's just one wallpaper with default settings.

But I'm assuming our goal is seamlessness.  So that when you log in, you
see the same exact wallpaper (minus dots and branding obviously).

That means that for full integration, we would need to support the
following features (modifiable via the Appearance panel):

A) One wallpaper
B) Multiple wallpapers, transitioning at times defined in an XML file (see /usr/share/backgrounds/contest/background-1.xml)
C) One solid color
D) A vertical color gradient
E) A horizontal color gradient

And for the wallpaper cases, we'd need to support possible modes like
"zoom", "centered", "stretched", etc. (only modifiable via gsettings
right now).

I'll start looking into this broader scope soon, but if there is a
smaller target we want to hit for 12.04, let me know.

Bug description:
  Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen
  by the user that is currently selected.

  e.g. the background the user has selected on their desktop should be
  displayed in the greeter.  See the attached animation
  login_screen_v02_WP.mov to understand exactly how the backgrounds
  should crossfade.
