I tried your test and debug mode. It also showed the wrong wallpaper.

I need some help by someone clever.
I've installed saucy in virtualbox (ubuntu version) and updated it to
trusty. But the resolution of the screen then went so smal that I can't
fit the nettings diaolg that I need. It is just 640x480. Useless!
I installed the additions, but it didn't help.
Ok, I solved the problem with Virtualbox and could complete the test
according to comment #10
I'm happy to tell that is was NOT reproducable, in that way anyway. That

Thank you for your bug report, xubuntu isn't using the unity-greeter but
the gtk one, which doesn't feature changing wallpaper with the user. How
did you change you wallpaper image?

I don't know what greeter it is using, or have been using.
But I do know that saucy is showing the users wallpaper. (Well, maybee
wallpaper of the last one who have been loged in?) One of the more
elegant changes since Precis.

lightdm-gtk-greeter does query accountsservice for the background

Sounds like the program you use does not tell accountsservice about the
changes.
As a workaround for now you can simply edit the files in
xfdesktop draws the user desktop in the actual session and comes with
accountsservice support (custom patch for Xubuntu).
However, the patch was updated and re-added just recently. Is your

That's correct!
And I can only try with one old account on one machine. If nobody else

For me, this will show the right wallpaper, but the real login session
