No avatars on login screens

Affectionately annoyed me is why there is a place for the avatar to a login screen avatars no. I look Manjaro there exists avatar but Neon and Maui 2 avatars not exists.
I've been chasing a rabbit, from a bush appeared a wolf.
In Maui avatar was not a png file than jpg, when I changed file png avatar it worked, plus when it sets the avatar system asks password.
If the avatar not png file will work if the /usr/share/sddm/faces/ or /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/ not put the name so Instruction says care
only .face.icon
Now we come to the Neon distribution, cutting-edge distro under the patronage kde.org. Putting png avatars does not change a thing, just some of their scripts
bad and when set new avatar is not prompted for a password on it is probably important to some studies somewhere where ordinary mortals can not.
Other variant I edit
/etc/sddm.conf
and write
[Theme]
FacesDir = /home/username
We like the option to typing .face.icon
Now I wonder how many of these omissions, inconsistencies have in any distro. whay png file is not matter to lock the screen,
do not mind the shutdown to display the avatar a matter to logout.
As I assumed, login manager SDDM not planned for several usera. I open my new user a bet on the same avatar as well as the old, although I loged as a new user and sets another avatar.
So it's like to constantly reinvent the wheel, each LTS new login manager. They grumble is that they SDDM dispute all in QML, where more binary codes, forgotten ...
KDM, GDM, MDM, Slim, lxdm, LightDM, SDDM long ... and now I wonder how many of them really work properly?
MDM was in an early stage of Ubuntu and then suffered in the reincarnation Mint 17, I remember it from the Ubuntu by retyping some famous two words (and the words are already there), and then it work properly.

Changing your avatar
You can simply put a png image named username.face.icon into the default directory /usr/share/sddm/faces/. Alternatively you can change the default directory to match your desires:
/etc/sddm.conf
[Theme]
FacesDir = /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/
You can also put a png image named .face.icon at the root of your home directory. However, you need to make sure that sddm user can read that file.
Note: If avatar images are symlinks, you need to set proper file permissions to the target files.
