Find a wallpaper image on the web in firefox 2. Right click and choose Set as Desktop Background 3. Log out, notice that it uses the new background in the greeter for that user, as expected 4. Login again 5. repeat #2 with a different image 6. Log out, note that the backgorund is the background set in #2, not the one set in #5 I even went and renamed the wallpaper image and put it in my Pictures directory.
