Quick fix for the desperate (like me) until a real solution is available:
* open a console: Ctrl+Alt+F2
* login as a user that has admin rights
* type:
$ sudo ln -s lightdm-kde-greeter.desktop /usr/share/xgreeters/default.desktop

Jonathan, I have removed the link and added the line in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and it works perfectly here.
Thanks!
