IDK, I have this werid issue where there is no background on gdm or lightdm. I tried to configure GDM wallpaper with GDM3setup and it changed the wallpaper but the wallpaper would always load for a split second then black screen would replace it. I decided to switch to lightdm with gtk3 greeter and set it up and tested it through terminal to make sure the wallpaper was working but when I logged out it ignored the wallpaper and again, I have a black screen. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?

Where is your wallpaper located?
I would suggest moving it home folder.

Also, are you using lightdm and the greeter from community (v 1.4) or from aur (v 1.5.1)? The version in community has a bug where backgrounds without an alpha channel are not displaying. Upstream have fixed this bug in 1.5.1 (it is not being backported to 1.4).

This could be your problem. The solution is either modify the image in gimp to add an alpha channel or try lightdm/greeter from aur.
As for GDM, i can't help you there
