I'm very late to this party, but: "We have FAR more pressing problems on the discretion front. Top of my list is the fact that we don't map notifications away from projectors. That's far more risky - you can control your choice of wallpaper, but you can't control what someone might IM to you while you are making your critical presentation.
So, please help us address that issue. I'm sure we all agree that's more important, and perhaps, by the time we come back to this less important issue, we will all have evolved our positions. OK?" By your logic, a perfectly acceptable solution to this is to just uninstall notifications. Or uninstall their IM program. Simple right? Or just not use Ubuntu! Or the regular user could just patch it themselves! Oh how simple. All your reasons for ignoring this option are perfectly applicable to the "more pressing" issue you described. In my experience, the amount of people who have "offensive" (or "private" as I'd much rather call them, because "offensive" is surely a very small subset of "private") wallpapers is much greater than the amount of people who use projectors while their IM program is running. And what! I think I just solved your "pressing problem" -- just turn your IM program off? Could it be that simple? Otherwise, uninstall it. I'm sorry for any unwarranted sarcasm or spitefulness, but this bug report thread made me really, really sad about Ubuntu's attitude and priorities at the top of the mound. :-\ With love, Victor -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/844081 Title: Unity Greeter - Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen by the user that is currently selected Status in D-Bus interfaces for querying and manipulating user account information: Confirmed Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Released Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in Unity Greeter: Fix Released Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen by the user that is currently selected. e.g. the background the user has selected on their desktop should be displayed in the greeter.
