No, of course not. But it's an additional friction for every user of the 
system, if we expose it as an option.

We have had a perfectly good (and very insightful) suggestion to use 
permissions to cover this. There are some implementation issues with 
that, but I'm more happy to cover the cost of the harder implementation 
than to ask every single Ubuntu user to have to parse another option.

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.
