Comment # 3 on bug 1001364 from Cor Blom

I hope reopening this bug is the right procedure here.

Since the last update I have lost the photos of users in the sddm screen and
the lockscreen. This is a pc with four users and each has a photo as avatar,
which worked perfectly until the last update to 5.8 final.

I now see the user-identity icon.

I assume this patch that this bug report speaks about is the culprit.

The photos were saved as .face and .face.icon linked to the former in the
user's home directory and added a long time ago. I think in kde 4 times and I
think somewhere in systemsettings then. (I have a separate home partition and
even if I reformat /home, or want to test a setup, I use the data from a
backup).
