Wallpaper setting - startup.

I have changed my wallpaper, just a quick question regarding startup. When I turn my mac on, I get the default leopard wallpaper for a few seconds before it changes.
Is there a way to disable this, so it just displays my current wallpaper.

Hmm excellent question, not sure. maybe under the administrator account options?

You should see the default wallpaper at the screen where the login window is normally displayed. If you've set your Mac to automatically login, then you'll just briefly see that wallpaper.

You can change the default wallpaper though, however you'd need to change this everytime you change your user account wallpaper.
