Title:
  user supplied default-user-image does not display properly in lightdm-
  gtk-greeter

Status in “lightdm-gtk-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Version: Xubuntu 14.04
  Environment: Corporate install joined to MS Windows Active Directory using PBIS Open 8.0.0.2016
  default-user-image specified in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf 

  Expected behavior: Specified default-user-image replaces the noname-
  user graphic in login dialogue in every configuration.

  Experienced behavior: works as expected unless "greeter-hide-
  users=true" is specified in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf. When "greeter-
  hide-users=true" is specified, dialogue reverts to the noname-user
  graphic and ignores default-user-image.

  In our environment, there is only one user account on the local
  machine, used for administrative purposes. All other logins are
  authenticated with AD credentials and AD usernames do not appear in
  the local user list. we must use the Manual Login option to allow AD
  logins. As a mild security measure, we'd prefer that the local admin
  account name not be displayed to users, so we need to hide usernames.
  There are workarounds to remove the local admin account from the user
  list, but the result is a pulldown saying "Other..." which gives the
  installation the look and feel of a non-professional hack job.
