Since some updates, the background image on the GDM login screen is only displayed for a blink second and then disappears for a complete black background.

Is there any fix or workaround available?

    I could solve the issue. There seems to be a new version of gdm_settings in GIT (https://github.com/gdm-settings/gdm-settings). You can download it via wget https://github.com/gdm-settings/gdm-settings/archive/refs/tags/v3.3.tar.gz. Extract the archive, change to the extracted directory and run ./build_and_run.sh. After compiling, you can set the background image permanent this time, via the dialog. Currently i have found only 3.1 in AUR, hopefully 3.3 will be available soon.
