lightdm-webkit2-greeter - "An error has occurred"

Hello!
Yesterday I tried the lightdm-webkit2-greeter with the "glorious" theme. I changed the config files of both lightdm and webkit2-greeter to use the appropriate session and theme.

The problem is, whenever I boot up the cursor appears on a black screen and after a few seconds I get a pop-up saying "An error has occurred with the current theme that could interfere with the system login".
I can already see the glorious theme in the background by then. In the pop-up I get the options to load default theme, a fallback one or just cancel. If I choose cancel, the pop-up window goes away and the theme works as it's supposed to.
The thing is I have to wait a few seconds and click cancel in the pop-up window every boot, which is quite annoying. My "/var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log" only has one line:

file:///usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/glorious/js/authenticate.js:167:15: CONSOLE LOG Start authentication

The error also occurs while using the default antergos theme, so I've assumed it's a webkit2-greeter issue, because all of this doesn't happen while using lightdm-gtk-greeter.

Thanks for any bits of help!

So this is an Antergos system?

No, actually it's Arch with KDE installed. The default theme that comes with webkit2-greeter is named "antergos". It was an example that it looks like it's not specifically a theme error, but rather a greeter error.
