[Bug 844081] Re: Unity Greeter - Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen by the user that is currently selected

 

To Mark Shuttleworth, a lot of other people use Ubuntu besides you and
they should also have a say in what they want or not.

So kindly try to consider other people's suggestions instead of making
snide remarks about serious privacy concerns. A computer is a personal
device and because of that, anyone should be able to choose any
wallpaper they desire and not have it revealed to others if they wish
so. This "wallpaper transition" feature is more unneeded than the option
of opting-out of it.

So if you're putting in that option, you sure as hell better put an
option to opt out of it.

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.
