Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Selecting an animated wallpaper bundle, like Cosmos doesn't really work. It will set the wallpaper, but you don't get any updates to the wallpaper when it should change over time. On logout you'll briefly notice a change in wallpaper, perhaps unity is drawing over top of something else? Or not getting some signal?

I noticed this when testing animated backgrounds for bug 629216, which adds a bundle for the contest winners.

I did confirm it works in the default GNOME desktop, only UNE affected.

Adding support for animated wallpapers to unity at this point of the cycle is not recommended. It should be part of the backlog.
