I've just merged in lp:~khadgaray/unity-greeter/default-background-color which makes the background color configurable. @Michael, correct. This color is a hack because there is a race between the X window appearing and the application being able to draw to it. This needs to be properly synchronised.

Whenever lightdm is starting on bootup or logging out, there is a purple background shown before the real background image is loaded. I have attached a video demonstrates the problem. Thats pretty annoying when you chose not to use the default pinky purple background image.
