[LightDM] Possible Bug with example-gtk-gnome Greeter

Hey all,

I didn't want to sign up to yet another online service, so I didn't 
create a launchpad account to post this possible bug (truthfully I'm not 
quite sure it is a bug). I'm using the latest 0.4.0 release.

I changed the wallpaper for the example-gtk-gnome greeter by:

cd /usr/share/lightdm/themes/example-gtk-gnome/
mv bg.jpg bg.jpg.orig
ln -s /home/chris/.wallpaper.jpg

As you can see I forgot to rename the symlink to "bg.jpg". When I 
rebooted I'm greeted with no wallpaper or any Gtk widgets of any kind. 
It's a black screen with the mouse pointer. Once I realized I renamed 
the symlink and everything was working again.

I don't think the greeter should be completely blank if a wallpaper 
isn't found?

Cheers,

Chris
