Your AccountsService comment led me in the right direction. After a lot of digging, I learned that my /var/lib/AccountsService/users/mendhak file did not have a Background value.
I then learned that my "org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background" was unchecked in dconf-editor. I checked it and a background daemon then started setting the proper path value each time which is nice. However, I cannot figure out why this daemon was disabled. Thanks for responding it is appreciated. Even though this is not a bug, it's very hard to find the right information about this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310711 Title: Background does not change to user specific wallpaper To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1310711/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
