Well, I've been hibernating the laptop 4 times now, and the results weren't
consistent. But what is consistent is that the different wallpaper *will* show
if you do a reboot or shutdown/restart. Other than that, locked desktops show
the desktop wallpaper, but coming out of hibernation, sometimes it showed the
desktop wallpaper and other times it showed the logon wallpaper before showing
the desktop wallpaper. Standby shows the desktop wallpaper as well. That pretty
much summarizes every combination I've seen so far.
