Edit the /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
Look for the line that starts with:
background=/path/to/some/image/file/that/works/with/lightdm
and insert the path to the image file you prefer.

I've had to delete files from /var/lib/lightdm 
(do not remember which)
when cloning one machine to another to get lightdm 
to apply new/changed image on the cloned machines.  
Editing the lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf, as editing it alone
did not suffice.
