There is a solution - editing some configs as mentioned here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=0dfd9d33128c54f7549e0db391602bf9&p=7886454&postcount=5
** Description changed: - Binary package hint: gdm + A way to edit xsplash animations and background is very important for + nice login experience. + + See + http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=0dfd9d33128c54f7549e0db391602bf9&p=7886454&postcount=5 The idea to create a new gdm leveraging new technologies for more integrated login experience is great, but doing it in this way leaves great amount of people with login screen that has nothing to do with the theme of their desktops. After entering my password I see white ubuntu logo with a progress bar and then I get my desktop with its wallpaper. All working normal, but it's ugly and slow compared to the older gdm. There should be an easy way to change at least the background of the login screen. I have done it with "gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome- appearance-properties" but that's changing only the background for the password window - the progress bar still shows before and after. Or one can leave the progress bar but change the ugly wallpaper behind it. Or have an option to choose the version of gdm to use, without forcing it from synaptic (if even the old gdm is in the repositories).
