                          I am trying to let the login greeter of my Debian unstable machine show a custom wallpaper. It shows up quickly at boot, like half a second but then it fades into the default wallpaper.
What could be the reason?

Here is how I configured it and some info about my machine:

    > sudo cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf | ag -v \#
    
    [greeter]
    background=/usr/share/wallpaper/leaf.png
    
    ls -lisah /usr/share/wallpaper/leaf.png 
    18350307 1,8M -rw-rw-rw- 1 foo foo 1,8M 10. Jul 08:51 /usr/share/wallpaper/leaf.png
    
    > apt info lightdm
    
    Package: lightdm
    Version: 1.26.0-8
    
    > apt info lightdm-gtk-greeter
    
    Package: lightdm-gtk-greeter
    Version: 2.0.8-2+b1
    
    > uname -a && lsb_release -a
    
    Linux foo 5.18.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 5.18.5-1 (2022-06-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux
