Ok, maybe my last message was the wrong tone but consider this scenario:

Say I'm a converted christian and my mom's a muslim and she doesn't know
about my conversion.

I have a portrait of Jesus as my wallpaper. Oh and I only log into that
computer when my mom isn't around. If she sees it, she might flip out
over possibilities of conversion and if this feature didn't exist, I'd
be free to set my wallpaper to anything.

There could be a thousand other scenarios, what if the power went down
right after I checked to see how some half-nude wallpaper would look on
the desktop? My conservative mom would get very angry...especially if
she's paranoid wnough to actually check my wallpaper every time she logs
in.

All of this isn't a problem for me and as you (Mark) said, I could just
write a patch for this but I'm just appalled that a CEO of a company
like Canonical has a problem with giving users a very trivial (to
implement) option when they are asking for it.

  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
