LightDM GTK Greeter

Can I set symlink to image as greeter background?

Asked by Ryota Kayanuma

Hello.

I'm using lightdm-gtk-greeter. I want to use symlink to image as greeter background and set as below.

```
[greeter]
background = /opt/random_wallpaper
```

And, I ran ` lightdm --test-mode --debug` and it seemed to wokring nice(displaying background). But, after reboot, the real lightdm doesn't displayed any background (displayed black background instead).

Is this bug?

note:
The purpose of using symlink is to use random wallpaper as background. I've created cron job to remake symlink to random wallpaper, and it is working nice.
