As shown in the original description, I already did have that setting in
my config. Please note that with that setting, I did get a prompt to
enter my username, however the *password* box did not appear.

However, the latest upload of lightdm did change things for me. with the
latest lightdm package version, I can confirm that leaving out the
setting greetings-show-manual-login makes me unable to even enter my
username. However, with the setting, I get both the input box for the
username and the password box, and logging in becomes possible.
