Lxdm is ignoring its theme setting in /etc/lxdm.lxdm.conf

Question

All I get is a plain grey greeter screen despite the 'Industrial' setting in the config file.  This happened suddenly and behaved as it used to for ages until now.
# sed '/#/d' /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf
[base]
numlock=1
greeter=/usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk
[server]
[display]
gtk_theme=Clearlooks
bottom_pane=1
lang=1
keyboard=0
theme=Industrial
[input]
[userlist]
disable=0
white=
black=
The theme file is on the filesystem:
% ls -l /usr/share/lxdm/themes/Industrial
total 76K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11K Oct 23 16:31 greeter-gtk3.ui
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11K Oct 23 16:31 greeter.ui
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 248 Oct 23 16:31 gtk.css
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 777 Oct 23 16:31 gtkrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168 Oct 23 16:31 index.theme

EDIT:  It does not honor any theme including community/archlinux-lxdm-theme
EDIT2: lxdm-git from the AUR works just fine...

Answer 1

I had the same problem, but found that I'd uninstalled librsvg.  Reinstalling this package fixed the problem.
