Title:
  Cannot set static background in 13.10

Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

   * Open dconf editor
   * Set background to '/usr/share/backgrounds/somebackground.jpg' (file is root:root)
   * Set draw-user-backgrounds to false (unticked)
   * Close
   * Set desktop (user) background to inaccessible.jpg (file that cannot be read by lightdm)
   * Restart machine

  What should happen:

  Greeter loads. Greeter background is somebackground.jpg - does not
  change if different user is selected, does not change if user
  background is changed.

  What happens instead:

  Greeter loads. Greeter background is warty-final-ubuntu.png (default).
