This issue puzzles me.
If I do a 'normal' installation of Arch with X and LightDM the displaymanager works as expected but with BBQLinux install I end up with a LightDM which starts a black screen and only after clicking a mousebutton the login screen and wallpaper is shown.
I have been looking at /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and commenting out the autologinuser and timeout but no change.
I have done a forced install of lightdm with no change.
Why is it the wallpaper and loginbox first shows after a mouseclick.
I have googlet that LightDM had issues on Ubuntu where a racecondition could occur at some systems.
But this is my primary system and there has been no changes in hardware at all
Thinkstation E32 with i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 32 GB ram and OZC and Samsung SSD's
LightDM behaves differently on BBQ install than a bare Arch install so this had lead me to the conclusion - it must be something in the BBQ install which triggers this odd behavior

did you use lightdm-gtk-greeter on plain arch, too?

yes
have done some testing on a fresh install of bbqlinux-mate - same issue.
update everything
pacman -Syyu
logoff - same issue
uninstall and reinstall
pacman -R lightdm-gtk-greeter
weird - this gives pacman error - package not found
so I issue an install
pacman -S lightdm-gtk-greeter
this gives pacman error - files exists
okay then save bbqlinux conf file and force reinstall
cp /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.save
pacman -S lightdm-gtk-greeter --force
cp /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.save /etc/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
logoff and what ??? problem solved
i have no idea what is going on but i am able to replicate it.
