The previous version of sddm worked fine, and yes I do export all
the QT/QML variables in my top-level scripts which build sddm.  But
my experience is described in the ticket -

With the previous version, the greeter brings up the picture from my
chosen theme, and lets me type in user and password.  With this
release I got an onscreen keyboard to type the password, and if
anyone was looking over my shoulder they would briefly see each
key's value at the top of the onscreen keyboard.

I assume the target users are people who want a graphical system
that lets a single user login.
