Here is a newer fix, I also added a branch for it. This fix also prevents loading the pink background image on startup.

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.
