Hello Sadi, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at

in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Bug description:
  [IMPACT]

  Every time the computer boots and autologins to my desktop, I see the
  default background only behind the Unity Launcher for a couple of
  seconds, and then it is replaced with the current wallpaper.

  [TEST CASE]

  (1) Configure the desktop to use a non-default wallpaper.
  (2) Log in to a Unity session and observe the area behind the Launcher.

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]

  The solution to this problem was to eliminate the animation of the BFB
  icon on initial startup.  Potentially this could cause the animation
  to not run at other times, although even if this did occur, it is
  unlikely to be noticed.

  [OTHER INFO]

  The fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid
  Vervet" dev release where it has been in production use for some time
  without apparent regression.
