You can add a package for the lighdm-gtk-greeter-settings. Salix, and following
suite Slint provide it, alongside the two other packages, for instance the
sources for Salix are  in:
https://slackware.uk/salix/x86_64/15.0/source/xap/
and for Slint in:
https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-15.0/source/

Caveats:
1. No SlackBuilds there but SLKBUILDs to be processed by slkbuild:
https://github.com/gapan/slkbuild

However someone wrote a script to convert a PKGBUILD from Arch (similar to a
SLKBUILD) to a SlackBuild. If I can find it again I will post a link here.

2. There are some discrepancies, eg. for the uuid.guid

Also, several distros including Arch now ship lightdm-slick-greeter as an
alternative:
https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter"
which is also based on GTK.

Cheers,
Didier
