Re your first suggestion [which ironically meant reverting to the file status i'd originally found therein prior to trying rocky's idea], after the chmoding i logged out, & finally then saw the avatars on the login screen. Did you notice my plural? In my VM i have more than one account, & they all now show the same avatar! Ha, oh well, it never rains but it pours, as the old saying goes.
Regarding avatars, maybe you forgot to remove the FacesDir parameter from the /etc/sddm.conf? So it takes the same avatar from you home dir for all users...?
