Public bug reported:
When selecting my username in lightdm before logging in, the wallpaper I
have selected does not display. This happens only if I use a picture
from my home directory, which is encrypted. If I select one of the
system-wide wallpapers it switches correctly.
While this makes perfect sense before logging in (when the directory is
not mounted with ecryptfs) this occurs also during user switching.
Perhaps when it is changed by the user, the wallpaper image could be
cached somewhere that lightdm could read it. I'm not sure what the
security implications are here though -- is wallpaper something to be
concerned about keeping hidden in this context?
