lighdm login dialog maximized issue

The login dialog on my lightdm is maximised to whole screen ( I am using lightdm-gtk-greeter ). It's happening since I updated XFCE to 4.12.. I don't really know if it's related, but prior to that udpate, lightdm login dialog had normal size, I could see my background behind. Now I can only see the background after hiting Enter key to confirm login. I already tried to reset lightdm-gtk-greeter conf but this didn't fixed anything..

I have 2 monitors and when moving the mouse cursor between them, the login dialog switches monitor like excepted, but staying always maximized on active screen..

This issue is happening to my laptop too.. Made xfce 4.12 update and then same lightdm dialog issue..

Any idea ?

... and what is the content of /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf ... given the recent update you may also have a /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.pacsave that needs checking and merging?

Yes I already tried to merge to changes and set a clean conf file, but it didn't changed anything, this does not seem to be caused by conf.

My lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf file contains :

[greeter]
background=/usr/share/backgrounds/archlinux_bg1.png
theme-name=Boje-Orange
icon-theme-name=AwOkenWhite
screensaver-timeout=30

Add this option to lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf:

allow-debugging = true

And post file "/var/log/lightdm/x-#-greeter.log" here (the newest one).

Would be useful to see a photo.

Re: lighdm login dialog maximized issue

Well thanks to the debbuging option I found my issue. Since last xfce update, my theme is buggy on lightdm. ( tried another theme and it was displaying correctly )
