Bug Description

STR:

1. Select some wallpaper with transition - e.g. Adwaita theme from gnome3 or contest one.
2. Log out and look at the lightdm background

Expected results: my new wallpaper
Actual results: default ubuntu wallpaper.

Reason: the "animated" backgrounds are not supported, this can be found in /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log:

[+0.49s] DEBUG: background.vala:58: Making background /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/backgrounds/adwaita-timed.xml at 1366x768
