Hi,
1st of all, i'm migrating from ubuntu to debian because i'm enough with
snap package.
Regarding lightdm, my familly would like to see the their background on
login screen. It's very usefull for child.
I agree that adding gdm3 as dependencies is a very bad idea because it
makes me run into many difficulties like having 2 keyboard
manager/settings and many other annoying things.
But there's something missing in order to have the feature "user
backgound" on login screen working. (should be working, it's the default)
In order to produce log, i ran :
$ sudo apt remove gdm3
$ sudo apt autoremove
but lightdm still display backgrounds of users
I'm busy this weekend but next week, i'll try to reproduce on a fresh
install into virtualbox in order to get logs.
regards,
Emmanuel

Hey, thank you for the bug report. I'm not sure exactly what are the
dependencies of user-background = true (which is the default) but
there is no
way we would add gdm3 as a dependency to lightdm-gtk-greeter, that
wouldn't
make sense at all.
Also I'm not sure I see the link with org.gnome.settings-
daemon.plugins.background but maybe some logs would help.
