Public bug reported:

Accountsservice version 0.6.40-2ubuntu11 fails to update user info of
the file /var/lib/AccountsService/users/<username>, for example changing
your wallpaper doesn't update the image of Lightdm since it reads the
path from this file. Workaround is downgrading both Accounsservice and
Libaccountsservice0 to the previous version.

sudo apt install accountsservice=0.6.40-2ubuntu10
libaccountsservice0=0.6.40-2ubuntu10

To prevent the packages from being updates to the broken version:

sudo apt-mark hold accountsservice libaccountsservice0
