I suspect that this is a permission issue. Make sure your desired pictures are readable to others. You also need to set permission 'x' for others to all ascendant directories up to root (the home directory tends to lack it)
Issue
1) I have "draw user backgrounds" selected in the Login Window settings. It's supposed to automatically display the wallpaper from your desktop on the login screen. It only does this with default wallpapers.
2) If I select background for the login screen manually, it will just be black screen, unless it's one of the default images. I suspect the issue here is that the Slick Greeter is somehow unable to access files in the home/ folders, and can only access those in the root folders.
I've had this issue on Mint 21.1 and Mint 21.2. Right now I'm on 21.3 and it persists. At first I thought it doesn't draw any wallpapers (because I always select one of my own right away), but this time I noticed that the default wallpapers do work. And so does the Login background (the black and white Mint logo wallpaper).
Steps to reproduce
1) Select a custom wallpaper from your home/ folders. Enable "draw user backgrounds" in the Login Window settings. 2) Manually select custom background from your home/ folders for the Login screen from your Login Window settings.
Expected behaviour
1) The Login screen will have your desktop wallpaper as a background 2) The Login screen will have whichever image you selected as a background
