Sounds like a bug for me. As we are anyway need a better way of
getting the wallpaper and it's properties, we can also fix that. The
only thing is that i'm not sure if it's still valid. I think arch
doesn't ship a patched accountservice/gnome-settings-daemon and i
remember i have a login-wallpaper on my arch-installation. Feel free
to file a bug and link to this mail in the archive :)
