This isn't a problem, but I haven't seen anyone else mention this, so I thought I would ...
I'm not sure whether to call it a graphical effect or an animation. When you first log in, the default wallpaper is "salix_night." [...] On subsequent logins, [...] When that happens, the "salix_night" wallpaper changes to "salix_day" after several seconds.
IANAGD (I Am Not a Graphic Designer) so my opinion is worth about $0.02, but I like this feature. I haven't seen anything like it in other distros that I've used.
Your and every other opinion is always worthwhile and wellcome, as long as you don't try to 'know better', when you don't.
As of "I like", one can like it or not, and it can look 'good' or 'bad', depending on the wallpaper combination.
Night to day change looks kinda cute, day windowed to day change looks even better.
Some wild flowers to beautiful sunset on MX looks horrible.
The slower the HW, the longer the lag.
Smaller WP loads quicker ...
The fact is, that it is some failure of the whole construct -- not Salix, but anything Xfce + LightDM.
The same happens on all of my Xfce installations in VirtualBox. There it is even much more obvious and annoying.
The login screen in VM is usually something like 800x600, and then it jumps to 1600x900, and in the meanwhile, it shows 4 small pictures for a moment, before it loads the preset wallpaper.
