Public bug reported:

Hello,

First of all, this is not a bug, but feature request. Currently lightdm-
gtk-greeter doesn't have ability to handle multimonitor backgrounds.
According the sources it simply sets the same background for every
monitor. It's possible to set background using "greeter-setup-script" in
lightdm configuration, but this will be overwritten by "background"
option (if the "background" option isn't specified the screen will be
fillen with default black color). IMO, it would be useful to allow
setting background by external program (feh, etc) if the "background"
option is empty. I've modified lightdm-gtk-greeter (trivial patch is
attached) and use feh as background setter, so far it works fine.
