testing plasma 5.12 beta on Arch... By dafault user-manager set "user" avatar from gallery when a new user account is created. This avatar is shown in user-manager and kickoff when you start plasma using the just created account. But screnlocker and sddm login manager show a different avatar.
There was a change to the default user avatar, does this problem persist?
yes, this bug persists. Login manager, screen locker and logout screen show a different avatar. See the attached screenshots please.

Thanks for the screenshots. I think it's the same icon though. It's just that we add a background to all of the avatars in sddm and the lock screen.
This was fixed recently.
This bug is still happening on both Neon unstable edition and Arch Linux when I try to create an user account with an avatar chosen from the gallery.

The default user avatar and avatars from the file system are now correctly applied to SDDM, kickoff, screenlocker and logout screen while User Manager creates a user account. But, as mentioned above, the same does not occur with the avatars from the gallery. SDDM, kickoff, screenlocker and logout screen do not show the avatar chosen from the gallery for a newly created user account. They show the default avatar instead. Steps to reproduce: 1. open system settings > account details > user manager 2. click on "+" button on bottom 3. set an avatar from the gallery (I used avatars of dr. konqi) 4. type your user name and real name 5. type nothing in "Email address" field 6. set your password 7. check "Enable administrator privileges for this user" 8. leave "Log in automatically" unchecked 9. click on "Apply" button (Apparently the chosen user avatar was correctly applied. Both avatar button beside your user name and the user accounts list in the left side show it.) 10. do logout (notice that SDDM shows default user avatar instead of the avatar from the gallery that you selected before) 11. start Plasma with your new user account Result: kickoff, screen locker and logout screen also show default user avatar instead of the avatar from the gallery that you selected before
Created attachment 126384 [details] empty button to set avatar immediately after user account creation Button to set avatar is empty immediately after user account creation. Such button shows default avatar after I select another user account in the user accounts list and then select the just created account.

This is fixed in the Plasma 5.20 rewrite.
