In Ubuntu, we want to add support in LightDM for displaying the selected
user's background (see https://launchpad.net/bugs/844081).

Ideally that would happen in the AccountsService layer.  I'll work on a
patch, but I wanted to check in first and see:

A) If this is something ya'll are interested in too.

B) What names you would want to use.  I'm thinking a mirror of IconFile,
so "BackgroundFile" in the DBus API, "background_file" in the C API, and
"Background" in the keyfile.

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.
