Cody , from what i understood ,
Mat is designing the Boot experience to use a *Single Background* for boot , gdm
While the boot uses the overlay of the throbber , the gdm will use the overlay
of the user list.
So that background image is better to use than the default wallpaper for all
these three:
-xsplash
-/etc/gdm/Init/Default (before gdm greeter shows)
-/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default (after gdm greeter, going into user session)
Using the same background for all the transitions would be better. so that the
user just sees only 2 backgrounds
1 background during boot and then second after login.
When i started this bug , I was under the impression that it was supposed to
use the users wallpaper and my suggestion in the description[to use the user
defined wallpaper] was since i thought the setting wasnt yet done. [i'll edit
the description accordingly]
But I'll leave it to Mat to confirm this[I'v subscribed Mat]
** Changed in: xsplash (Ubuntu)
Status: Won't Fix => Confirmed
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: xsplash
In single user setup , with auto-login:
The present xsplash uses the default wallpaper >
/usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png before transitioning to desktop.
- But rather should use the wallpaper , set by the user in the previous session.
- Since it is using the wrong wallpaper , it does not transition smoothly
- from boot to user Desktop.

Xsplash only uses the default wallpaper during transition to desktop.
