Bug Description

A new feature with lightdm on Ubuntu 12.04 (I'm on beta right now) is that when selecting a user, the background should automatically change to the desktop background set by this user. This works fine if the background set is static, but if the user chooses a sideshow background, lightdm displays the default purple background.
