Vladimir is still having a problem:
Andrew,

Thanks for your answer. I took a look at the code and, as I understood, 
the lightdm gtk greeter setting background to the one specified in the 
gtk theme and then sets background color or picture as specified in the 
greeter config file. I just copied the gtk3 theme used by the greeter 
and changed background color to transparent. So the following workaround 
fixed the problem for me (no blinking color anymore):
