When the user imports a new wallpaper to Appearance Preferences, Ubuntu should quickly analyse it average color. When the user chooses the wallpaper and later logs in, that color should display while the wallpaper is loading.

Make a smooth transaction from login page directly to background, without any intermediate same-colour background.

I've found this wonderful solution in Launchpad. A small fix makes the GDM theme wallpaper remain visible until Nautilus takes over the desktop and displays its wallpaper. No intermediate color changes! Just one-moment change from one wallpaper to the other.

Kudos go to the author, Kristoffer Grönlund (https://launchpad.net/~kegie)

The fix proposal:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/278017

The fix is really simple. Two notes on it:
1. The gdm script is /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default on my system
2. GDM themes are located in /usr/share/gdm/themes.

As a sexiness thing, I think when you enter your username and get to the password bit, the background should become a blurred version of the user's wallpaper (like looking through frosted glass). When the password is entered and log in occurs it should 'unfrost'. That would be tasty.

after the user login was typed or select by face selector, fade-in the wallpaper of this user onto the background of the GDM while he type his password. make it as optionally for each user due privacy issues.
