Ha, i imagine you thumped your desk & rolled your eyes in exasperation when you read that last bit of info i gave. Sorry -- i wasn't trying to be stupid, but i just seem to have a knack for it [actually, in truth i am so used to knowing my /home is encrypted (since installation) that sometimes i forget to mention it; also, in many other posts of mine i definitely have mentioned this, but i completely realise it's impossible for you & others to remember what i might have said in a different post, especially when you all support many users].
All that said however, i would have thought that one of your recent suggestions should have worked just fine for me, so it's weird it didn't --> "put the moi.face.icon file you created under /usr/share/sddm/faces/ which is the default directory for SDDM to look". I mean, it's only my /home that's encrypted, not the whole disk, so SDDM should have had no problem accessing & using the file i put there yesterday when i tested your idea.
