Slightly tricky; 

SDDM decided to add code themselves into show a fallback icon they provide from
/usr/share/sddm/faces

This path overridable in sddm.conf

So now instead of getting a file path, or nothing we always get something.
From Breeze's POV we have no good idea if we're loading the user's face or a stock icon.

Even if we did somehow add code in breeze, that would only break SDDM's config option.

At /best/ breeze could supply the files into the same directory structure as /usr/share/sddm/faces and we tell distros to change that path.

Why not then make the KCM change the path on theme change?
Would this also fix displaying custom per-user icons set in System Settings?

SDDM is still showing a default icon which is not Breeze-themed. It does that even when there is a user icon set (symlinked to ~/.face.icon). Is that a bug in SDDM or the Breeze theme?

This was an issue with the old theme.
