Bug Description

Using wallch to change the wallpaper in time, the lock screen still use the first wallpaper used in the current session.

Steps to reproduce it:

1- Login and do a Lock Screen
 (Notice that the wallpaper being shown is the same as the one in your desktop)
2- Unlock the screen and change the wallpaper with the gnome-control-center capplet
3- Lock the Screen

What happen: The wallpaper being shown there in the lock dialog is the previous one.

What should happen: The wallpaper being shown in the lock dialog should match the one in the desktop.

I changed my desktop wallpaper using the appearance application and noticed that the lock screen background still used the old wallpaper also.

Rodrigo has enough bugs for now I think and he doesn't know gnome-screensaver especially well so letting it rather than a team to grab bug

The bug is a cosmetic one, while it would be nice to fix it doesn't seem realistic that the Canonical Desktop Team will work on it before Oneiric, better to let it in the pool of free to claim bugs

upstream comment:

"That's actually not the current design. The current design is to make the
screensaver password screen have the same background as the login password
screen (gdm), not the user's background. It doesn't work exactly that way
either though since the switchover to dconf, but it's a close approximation to
that.

The whole screensaver ui is going to be redone for 3.4, so there may be a new
design then, though."
