Actually I am not sure how lightdm chooses it's file.

/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/30_lubuntu.conf contains

icon-theme-name=lubuntu


(note the lower case lubuntu). 

I've done a 
strace -s 80 -f -o lightdmtrace lightdm --test-mode --debug

to find that it reads
/usr/share/icons/Lubuntu/index.theme

(note the upper case Lubuntu) and from there gets to the icon
/usr/share/icons/Lubuntu/imported-Adwaita/24/avatar-default.png

which is 24x24 pixel and gets scaled up, thus ugly.


both files belong to the package lubuntu-icon-theme. 


Since all this happens before logging in, my personal icon settings would have no effect. BTW, this is as it comes out of the box after installation. 

regards

Title:
  ugly lowres login icon

Status in LightDM GTK+ Greeter:
  New
Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  not a real bug, just ugly:

  lightdm-gtk-greeter shows a user icon at the login screen near to the
  name selection, and a default person-logo if none is set for the user.

  That default logo is low-resolution, very pixelated, and thus really
  ugly.
