Hi, I just finished a FreeBSD 15 with XFCE install in a Dell Latitude 7490. As per the instructions in https://www.freebsdsoftware.org/blog/freebsd-xfce-desktop/, I used the lightdm login manager. The lightdm login page currently shows a black background with just the login window. I'd like to add an image there, but no suggestons that I've found work. My lightdm-gtk-greeterconfig file looks like this:
Code:
# LightDM GTK Configuration
# Available configuration options listed below.
# Please list the configuration options that you want to use after [greeter] without the # for example:
# [greeter]
# example-option=example-value
#
# Appearance:
theme-name = Adwaita-dark
icon-theme-name = Adwaita
# cursor-theme-name = Cursor theme to use
# cursor-theme-size = Cursor size to use
background = /home/mikeb/Images/glass.jpg
# user-background = false|true ("true" by default) Display user background (if available)
# transition-duration = Length of time (in milliseconds) to transition between background images ("500" by default)
# transition-type = ease-in-out|linear|none ("ease-in-out" by default)
#
# Fonts:

# xft-hintstyle = none|slight|medium|hintfull What degree of hinting to use
# xft-rgba = none|rgb|bgr|vrgb|vbgr Type of subpixel antialiasing
#
# Login window:
# active-monitor = Monitor to display greeter window (name or number). Use #cursor value to display greeter at monitor with cursor. Can be a semicolon separated list
# position = x y ("50% 50%" by default) Login window position
# default-user-image = Image used as default user icon, path or #icon-name

#
# Panel:

# indicators = semi-colon ";" separated list of allowed indicator modules. Built-in indicators include "~a11y", "~language", "~session", "~power", "~clock", "~host", "~spacer", "~layout". Unity indicators can be represented by short name (e.g. "sound", "power"), service file name, or absolute path
# keyboard-layouts = semi-colon ";" separated list keyboard layouts to be listed by the "~layout" indicator (empty by default which provides all available layouts)
#
# Accessibility:
# a11y-states = states of accessibility features: "name" - save state on exit, "-name" - disabled at start (default value for unlisted), "+name" - enabled at start. Allowed names: contrast, font, keyboard, reader.
# keyboard = command to launch on-screen keyboard (e.g. "onboard")
# keyboard-position = x y[;width height] ("50%,center -0;50% 25%" by default) Works only for "onboard"
# reader = command to launch screen reader (e.g. "orca")
# at-spi-enabled = false|true ("true" by default) Enables accessibility at-spi-command if the greeter is built with it enabled
#
# Security:
# allow-debugging = false|true ("false" by default)
# screensaver-timeout = Timeout (in seconds) until the screen blanks when the greeter is called as lockscreen
#
# Session:
# default-session = session manager to be started when none has been selected by the user and no one is set as last used (unset by default)
#
# Template for per-monitor configuration:
# [monitor: name]
background = /usr/local/share/backgrounds/xfce/xfce-shapes.svg
#user-background = overrides default value
laptop = true
# transition-duration = overrides default value
#
[greeter]
background=/home/mikeb/Images/glass.jpg
user-background=/usr/local/share/backgrounds/xfce/xfce-shapes.svg

Applications/Settings/Light DM + GTK Greeter Settings won't open a window, and nothing I've tried editing in the above file has any effect at all. What can I do to edit this preference? Thanks in advance.
