** Description changed: - The dynamic wallpaper change does only seem to work for me if I use - wallpapers from the "Wallpaper" category. If I choose a wallpaper from - "Picture Folder", then "org.gnome.desktop.background.picture-uri" points - to a file in ~/.cache/gnome-control-center/backgrounds/, x-0-greeter.log - suggests a permission problem, and I get the default wallpaper. + Background images, that have been manually added to the 'Pictures + Folder' category in gnome-control-center, don't get picked up by the + Unity Greeter, because selecting one of those sets the image URI at + 'org.gnome.desktop.background.picture-uri' to a copy of the file in + '~/.cache/gnome-control-center/backgrounds', which is only user- + readable. - And indeed, ~/.cache has a 700 permission (at least on three systems I - checked). If I manually set the gsetting key to a file in ~/Pictures, - the wallpaper change works fine. + However, image files, that reside directly in the '~/Pictures' folder, + automatically show up in the 'Pictures Folder' category. Picking one of + those entries sets the image URI to the file in '~/Pictures' → the Unity + Greeter can read and use it. + + To add some confusion: it's also possible to manually add images from + '~/Pictures' to the 'Pictures Folder' category in gnome-control-center, + and you will end up having the image show up twice: one pointing to the + file in '~/Pictures' (will be used by the Unity Greeter), the other one + pointing to the copy in '~/.cache/gnome-control-center/backgrounds' + (won't be used by the Unity Greeter). + + So, there _is_ an inconsistency to fix.
