I am experiencing this issue as well on Ubuntu 12.10 (3.5.0-21-generic #32-Ubuntu x86_64 GNU/Linux).
I have placed an image file in the user's ~/Pictures folder. (I ensured that user, group, and others have read/write access to the picture). I then set the user's wallpaper to this picture from the *Pictures* option inthe Appearance dialog. Unfortunately, the LDM greeter login screen only shows the default purple and orange Ubuntu wallpaper. However, if I set the user's wallpaper to any default picture from the *Wallpapers* option inthe Appearance dialog, the selected picture is also displayed on the LDM greeter login screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070303 Title: Lightdm don't show user wallpaper Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu 12.10, Gnome Classic with compiz When showing login screen, it shows ubuntu default wallpaper, and not user wallpaper.
