Login screen ubuntu 12.04 not showing user's desktop

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 (x64) and was really enjoying it, but it was a little too slow on my machine, so I've reinstalled with the x32 version (hopefully that terminology's correct). The only thing I did differently was to put the /home directory onto its own partition and set encryption of same.

When I used the x64 version, the login screen would change to show each user's desktop wallpaper, but it no longer does this... Is this a bug? Or something wrong with x32? Or is it something that I did when I partitioned and encrypted /home?

Run sudo nautilus in the terminal (Or Alt+F2 and gksudo nautilus, copy wallpapers into the /usr/share/backgrounds directory, and change the file permissions to match the default wallpapers. I haven't done exhaustive testing to see if it works for all my images, but it has worked for one that was previously giving me problems. Login screen now looks great.

I hope that helps. Take care.
