no it wouldn't because of privacy and security. A wallpaper can both expose 
very private information one wouldn't want on the login screen (think of 
picture of naked girlfriend category) and is also security relevant. In fact 
it might not be possible to get the information at all as the home partition 
might be encrypted.

There are things which call for a default wallpaper. The login screen is one 
of them :-)

Cheers
