Bug Description

Greeter log contains these lines:

(lightdm-gtk-greeter:3607): Gtk-WARNING **: Drawing a gadget with negative dimensions. Did you forget to allocate a size? (node menubar owner GreeterMenuBar)

I am writing, because I don't see any language switched on greeter screen. Maybe that's the reason.

Every time I log into Xubuntu's Xfce, using LightDM I can see the following log lines in /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log

The configuration was not changed significantly, except for lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings, in which I chose theme Adwaita-dark and icons elementary-xfce-dark.
