I use lightdm with the gtk-greeter on Arch to log in to an Xfce session, and I do not experience any of these issues.
I found that removing my default cursor theme from /usr/share/icons I began experiencing the theme changing problem. After applying the patch above, it made absolutely no difference to the theme changing behaviour. So I think this issue is quite simply a default theme is not being set correctly. The solution is to set a default cursor theme as follows: # mkdir /usr/share/icons/default # touch /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme Now edit index.theme and add the following: [Icon Theme] Inherits=<CURSOR THEME NAME> The chosen cursor theme will now be applied on both light dm and your root window in your session.
